I'm dosing ChemiClean today, and I already run a skimmer and an airstone in my sump, as well as several wavemakers in my DT. Do I need to *increase* aeration as long as I keep all of that running during treatment? There's about 225g of water in my system.
 
I would agree probably sufficient, just observe the fish for any signs of low oxygen, such as gasping at the surface.

@PopBot16 Question though: doesn’t running an air stone in your sump result in salt creep everywhere?

Not really. The sump is relatively deep. In the chamber with the airstone, there's about 10 inches between the water level and the top of the sump.
