Harvey,
That's a tough call. Lots of variables.
Aeration is almost always a good idea. But, it may not be necessary.
If you have a heavy load of organic matter, leaves, fish waste, silt...with little or no flushing during the year, aeration would be a good idea.
But, if organic input is minimal, and flushing is adequate, aeration isn't necessary.
