Just wondering if I add the finings the day before I keg my beer, should I put the airlock back on with the lid or leave it off.. I've put it back on and the airlocks bubbling again.. Is this normal?

The airlock has just started to bubble.. Looks like I was premature in my worrying.. No where near as much as the other airlock but there is movement!! ;-)
