I ordered a test kit to see if I could saturate the water without airstones, Max Dissolved Oxygen.
It depends on a few things so I found an online calulator.

[TD]-----------------------------
So, today at this pressure,
at this ppm and temp the water
can only hold 9.2 ppm or ml/l
I'd say flooming with an eco-185
does the job. Darker than 8, lighter
than 12, yep.
