Does an airstone have to be installed to anything?
An airstone needs to be attached to an airline which is connected to an air pump.In a freshwater aquarium, air wands, stones or discs are important as they add oxygen to the water; this is even more important in a tropical tank as warmer water contains less oxygen.
Is an airstone needed in a freshwater aquarium?
An "airstone" is not neccessary. All species of fish must have their water looked after properly if they are to survive. The basic rules of successfull fishkeeping are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. An 'airstone' will simply create a current in the tank and a visual effect but it will not improve the water much at all. If the air pump is connected to a biological filter however, then you will have a real benefit from using the air pump.

What piece do the air pump go to?
Typically an airpump for an aquarium is attached to a long, thin (1/4") flexible tubing, called airline tubing. Then you can attach the other end of the airline tubing to a number of different things, the most common of which is called an airstone - this is a small, hard stone like attachment that breaks the air into smaller bubbles.
