Nothing but small current and increase surface area movement

So with proper current like a healthy tank should have anyway, you would no longer need air stones?

You don't want air stones. When the tiny bubbles pop in a saltwater rank there is more of a tiny splash than in freshwater. That gets on the lid, light covers, tank sides and everything else. Then the salt gets left behind when it dries.
