Stupid little question.

Please don't laugh. Is it possible to use Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder as media in the normal canister filter?
I know you suppose to use Vortex Diatom filter for it, but after spending hours looking on the net, I still can't find single supplier of it in UK.

No you cant use it in a canister filter, a diatom filter uses a micron screen or filter to keep the diatomaceous Earth powder out of the aquarium
