I have eency teency bubbles throughout the tank. at the bottom and top. is there a way to cut down on this without losing the airation that i have? i have 2 bubble wands in the back. 55 gallon. i have pics in the aquarium pics section.
 
To be honest, i wouldn't worry too much as these bubbles are beneficial to an aquarium.
They help aeriate (sp?) the water by maximising the gas exhange at the surface and help to achieve an equal temperature balance by carrying excess heat away from the main body of water.
If you want to reduce the air flow and don't have an adjustable air pump, get hold of one of those little plastic bleed valves that can reduce flow by up to 50%. (if you do get one of these, get a non return valve too--trust me on this one -_- )
