i have a 30 gallon planted tank with an abundance of fish there are 9 or so plants maybe more i was wondering if i stopped using the bubble wall to add o2 to my tank will my fish be ok and my plants start to grow faster due to CO2 levels increasing? This is my first time ever having live plants
 
I have all my tanks planted, pretty heanily as well.

I have my 1 pump for each tank, running 2 6" air stones on each.

I dont have very powerful pumps but enough to run this way, i like to keep my tank oxygenated not just for the fish, but also for the plants as well.

My plants are doing really well and always have.

Although i will say, im not very experienced on the plant side of things.
 
I wouldn't have the bubbles going. the bubbles take away co2 which is needed for plants to grow. and also the bubbles don't really give enough surface agitation to oxygenate the water. you need a lot more water agitation like from a filter. unless you like the look of the bubbles i would just get rid of them as they don't serve any real purpose in a larger tank.
