I probably asked some of this before but I have since forgotten. I added a bubble wand about 24 inches long. I used to run one then I stopped for like a year becuase of my plants but now theres not many plants so I decided to add it again. The fish seem to like it :)

But a lot of the bubbles are getting pushed back into the water by the aquaclear. I think some of the fish are trying to eat the bubbles is this bad? Or is there a possiblity of over doing it with air? There is also a ton at the surface should I turn it off when I go to feed them?
 
If a bunch of the food is falling down into the gravel when you are feeding, then yes I would turn it off when you feed them. Less mess that way. If you enjoy the bubbles, I see no harm in them being there.
