Hi.
I just acquired three small erectus (probably about 4-5 months old). I've got them in a small tank for now but have a larger one ready for them when they get larger. Unfortunately the pump in the AIO tank that I have them in seems like too much flow even at the lowest setting. I know they can handle it (and sometimes even enjoy it) but I'd like to give them a break from the flow overnight. Can I just put an airstone/bubbler in there overnight and turn the circulating pump back on in the morning?

Yes you can. That will create sufficient water movement and surface agitation for gas exchange.
