The pump is connected to one end of the tubing, the other end of the tubing is connected to the air stone. So it's like this: pump + tubing + air stone. You put stone in your tank. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help:) P.S. If you use an air filter, you just need to purchase the air filter cartridges. (I don't use the cartridge in my other tank since the charcoal makes the tank cloudy--I just use the air filter and my fish are just fine--the water runs out of the filter on top and I just replace the water in the tank when it gets low. The tank is always clear and since I don't use the filters, I don't ever have to clean out the tank:) The pump is connected to one end of the tubing, the other end of the tubing is connected to the air stone.

Well the pump is essentially useless without some practical way of delivering air to the tank. That's what tubing and stones (or whatever spreads out the air at the delivery point) is all about. The purpose of the air delivery is oxygenation of the little fishees water.

The pump which is both awesome and super quiet includes a valve but you'll still need tubing etc. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Yes, you need tubing, an air stone or other device to create small bubbles and a check valve to prevent water from back flowing into the pump and ruining it.

My husband said you need a bike pump with a "schraeder valve" not a "presta valve". We got an awesome bike pump for $20 at Walmart. It has both. I have to air my tires up about one a week. The more air the smoother the ride.

If you have only one air stone( no more than 12") and the pump is resting level with the top of the tank it should work fine. The longer the air hose and if its fighting gravity it may not put out enough air and damage the pump. I'm using the 60 gl pump for a 10 gl tank - 1 24" & 3 1" air stones.

Wooden airstone come with the skimmer package. You just need a dual outlet airpump.

You need to purchase the amount of tubing you will need. Tubing does NOT come with the pump.

the filter is included in the aquarium not the air pump with bubbles, you would need to buy pump, air hose and air stone separately.

All you need is an air pump, a "tee" to separate the air line into two, air stones for the end of the tubes to dissipate the air and off you go!

I have 2 of these pumps and both came with everything needed.. just plug it in.

A small air pump or bicycle pump. No problem with it over filling with air. use your common sense.

Yes.. this only provides light and air. You will also need a air pump for the airstone.

you will need a pump. I just blew mine up like a balloon, its not that big so it was easy to do. Also, you don't want to fill it to full or it won't have any movement.

Air pump not included. If I were you I wouldn't buy the product, it's not good for your fish, and it spits out soot even after 3 days. Look into a foam filter, you still have to buy the pump, but it's worth it just to keep the charcoal out of the water.

Yes, you need a pump because it does not have a built-in one. I use an electric pump called "Super Electric Pump"--it was inexpensive (got it at a local discount store)--using one that is advertised as ''fast, fast, fast''works a lot better than other ones. It only takes about five minutes to fill the bed plus I use it to fill kids' pool and large beach toys. I usually add a little air every other night to keep it nice & firm

Hi, yes, an air compressor is required. 90PSI or bigger capacity is recommended. We used 200PSA MAX 8Gallon works perfect.

It comes with an air pump. do not see why it wouldn't work with the other ones.

As others stated an air pump will help, if you would like to increase the circulation from the air pump put the stone in a small piece of cpvc or other piping. Here's a pic of the general idea, just have the tube stop around the surface level of the water: http://www.koenderswindmills.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/air_lift_pump.jpg
