I set up a JBJ nano-cube 24g recently. Last night I got a fish to add to it, by this morning it was acting not well. After moving him to start drip Acclimating he started acting better. I checked the parameters and the nitrites are a little high but safe. Then I realized there is no air mixing anywhere in the system. HOW DO I AERATE A NANO?
Thanks in advance

Start by pointing the flow from the return up toward the water surface.  This will make the water ripple and help oxygenate the water.

You can also keep the water in the overflow less than 100% full.  Then it will flow over the first chamber and fall a little.  That action will also help oxygenate it.
