Do i need to add an airline to the top? Is it required? It also come with a short airline tube, do i need to add that on if i don't add an air pump?

You don't add a air pump you just put that short tube on top and it hangs out the tank.

It doesn't need an airline, and it doesn't need the short line also, I am using this short line just following the warning but it will work the same if you don't use it, I still can't find a reason for this short line hanging out.

We just blew it up with lip power! If you wanted to use a pump, I would suggest the type used to inflate air mattresses. just leave inflated and hang at end of tub to store. The included suction cup hook is too weak to hold tub,Replaced it with a better hook that works well.

Mine did nnot come with instructions either. The tube plugs in the top and just hangs out of the tank for air.

It has everything you need but no compressor. It comes with a valve stem thing you can put literally any where. I found a hole in my frame and mounted it there and when you want to put air in it it's like filling up a tire. It is easy to add a compressor later in time. Although if I run a compressor and tank you will need a deal like a gauge with a switch thing on it I got from firestone that lets you controll the air pressure in the cab which I think was like 60 bux. But like I said you can always do that later down the road.

Not on the pump as far as I know and not in the ten pcs pack. But their is one you can buy. You will have to look for it. I have seen them but not used. I put a bread tie or just kink the hoe a little. { Realy I never real had to much air}

I don't have any air pumps in my tank. I have salt water fish.if you have saltwater fish you could put one in but its not necessary

mine came pumped basically perfect. But I suggest getting a pump in case. I've seen it deflated in stores.

I have no clue what the short tube was for. the only thing I could think of was that maybe it was for extending the air line for the top of the unit to put it deeper in the water. did want to take the risk and try it. it's still in my box.

You probably will need an additional air stone. I've used this filter and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the purpose of that air tube is.

Hmmmm. I think that mine only needed the top tube put into the lower tube and adjusted for height.

Prob not enough air and/ or weight on front of tube- make sure weight is toward back so it can plane after that they can put more weight on front if desired.

Yes, you will need an air pump. My tank is 10 gallon and I bought a bigger pump to get more air flow and a dual check valve splitter from Walmart to control the air. You can see my review under my id retho78.

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

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

It comes with a hand pump. Takes about 15 minutes to air up. I recommend you getting a 12V electric pump.

It does not come with an air pump but a small $10 pump will work just fine with this tank.

If it were a large enough diameter then tubing could be used, but basic airline tubing would be too small. Also, I'm not sure how you are thinking of having it set up, but pretty much the entire thing except the spray bar needs to be submerged. It can be turned sideways, but you will have to be careful about air in the main part; I used it as a back up in my 10G when the filter failed and angled it and ran into this problem.
