THE REEF AQUARIUM By Delbeck and Sprung talks a lot about O2 in the tank and best ways to oxygenate your water. They write that very little oxygen is introduced through your skimmer and the best source is the over flow to a sump and surface tension.

i've got an airstone in a big conch shell in the tank that creates an awseome effect because the airpump is valved off almost all the way and every 5-10 minutes a big bubble come out of the shell with a distinct "blooooooop", my skimmer, an open top, and my overflow that turns at a 90 degree angle on its way to the sump (which as i can imagine must be very turbulent).
