real aero doesn't need airstone, the roots are suspended and is "mist" with nute.

the aerogarden, is not really aeroponic, although it kinda is, the addition of an airstone makes the bubbles produce a nutrient rich mist that feeds the roots without burning them. (mind your PH)

ask me about the girls

I used on of the spare holes i wasn't growing in to put the tube through. Put some sponge around it or cut a bit of something to stop light getting into the water.
I used the spare hole so i didnt have to lift the flap at the front up.
Keep the pump well above the reservoir.
Depending on what airstone you have you might have to attach the stone once the tube is through the hole.
