Some questions about the fruiting chamber

Is this the right kind of air pump I'm looking to use in my fruiting chamber? http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=airpump9ho.jpg
Where would I go looking to find one of these air pumps? A store such as a pet store? Also, do I have to buy the air pumps separetly?
And are all hygrometers able to be put in the fruiting chamber?
And why do I need a wire mesh at the bottom of my fruiting chamber? I'm using an aquarium for my fruiting chamber as well
And I went shopping for some brown rice flour at 3 different health shops, and none of them had any to offer. Do I have to go to a specific type of health store, or should I just try looking for BRF in more shops?

Myself. I wouldn't bother with an air pump at all. A manual fan a few times a day is all that you need really.
Only a good quality hydrometer will work at really high RH. They are a little pricey. I hear good things about the Taylor brand ones.
Use perlite humidification put your cakes on top of the jar lids or something so that they don't touch the perlite. (Helps keep them from getting waterlogged)
Buy regular brown rice and grind it yourself.

A. Yes, that'd do nicely.
B. Pet stores WILL have them, no doubt about it. You should only need to buy one air pump if you're doing what I think you're doing.
C.Depends - I have an analog one with a thermometer on the other side and it works great inside. Just spray it down with some rubbing alcohol first. I am not sure how clean you could get a digital one.
D. The wire mesh is to keep the cakes from sitting at the bottom of the chamber where water might pool. I personally use a layer of perlite instead because its cheaper and it fits the bottom of any container.
E. It took me forever too. I suggest you call the biggest supermarkets around and they should have it, especially if they have All-Natural sections. I know Wegman's has it. If not, ask for organic brown rice, and grab a mortar and pestle and get busy. Using fresh flour also tends to yield better flushes since the nutrients are more numerous.

A coffe grinder works great for making your own rice flour.

Hy-Vee said they could special order brown rice flour, but my friend is simply planning on getting a coffee bean grinder tomorrow. I'm sure it is far cheaper to simply grind up your own brown rice (which everyone should have, Wal*Mart included). 
 Peace.

I have used Tsuru Mai brand...California brown rice for years. Comes in a 5 lb. bag at the grocery store...for about $4 here. Works just as good as organic brown rice...IME
I use a coffee burr grinder for making my own brown rice flour.
