does coppersafe lower oxygen,should I run an airstone while running copper in my QT?

Copper is an immunosuppressant so it's always a good idea to help the fish by adding a bit of O2. An airstone is good, but a powerhead aimed up at the surface where it is actively rippling the water's surface provides the highest O2 exchange.

Actually I think I prefer the power head. The bubbles from the air stone make a heck of a mess
