Sorry, I missed this. I don't think it's necessary as the carbon filter removes the chlorine and it will offgas naturally. An airstone may increase the dissolved oxygen content in the water but if you agitate your water with a powerhead when mixing salt it wouldn't be necessary.

Even if you don't use a powerhead and mix manually you shouldn't have any issues. I stirred my salt manually for 6 months or so and didn't see any ill effects from it.

I'm no expert though
