Aquarium Bubble Stone?

I just bout a Aqua Culture Aquarium Bubble Stone and how do i install it in my 10 gallon tank with goldfish in it? i also have an air pump so i need step by step instructions please.
Answers:
I have that and you need to go to Wal-Mart(I presume that where you get them) and get the standard Airline Tubing(Get the 25inch one those are good deal and size) at the fish area.
Also im guessing that you have the air pump with a check valve(to prevent from back siphoning and damaging your pump).
This is what it looks like:

1. Find a sterdy safe place to put your pump.
2. Cut the airline tubing to a desired length.
3. Connect One side of the tubing to the pump
4. Carfully(To prevent it from breaking) connect the airstone to the other side.
5. If you have a check valve cut the middle of the tube and connect the valve.(Its best to have one)
6. Put the air stone in the tank and let it soak for 1hour(Some airstone needs to soak more than an hour and some dont it depends on the what type it is).
7. Then plug it in.
Have fun

1st you should let the air stone soak in water for 10 min. before using it. then take your air line hose and connect 1 end to the air stone and the other end to the pump. place the air stone in the tank where you want it, preferably under a heavy rock or something that can hold it down. then just plug it in.
