well if your fish die thats a good sign but if u want to check before that happens i am not sure you really can just make sure you have a steady air flow and if the filter does not produce enough check of your power heads can help

You can buy an oxygen test kit for $10 or an oxygen sensor for about $250...but usually you don't have to worry that much about it in the marine hobby. Just make sure you have powerheads or wavemakers disturbing the surface of your water and you should be fine.
