hey i have a 150 gallon with a wet and dry and 3 canister filters running

i have two filter on both sides with a spray bar creating bubbles
i want to get rid of the bubbles and make my tank just look clear
when i putt he spray bars into the water and wait about a hour it looks like my fishes are dying...(their gills are going faster then normal)

is there a way i can stop the bubbles without killing my fishes?
can i put something into the wet and dry to create more air?
what if i put a air stone in the wet and dry?
 
submerge the outlet and point to upwards to the surface.
That way, you maximize air exchange rate while eliminating bubble noise
 
putting the spray bar just under the surface so it still roils the water and forms bubbles but doesn't send a lot of bubbles downward might work for you. or shooting it across the surface, instead of down.
 
Normally the trickling of a wet/dry does a pretty good job aerating the tank, but if not, I guess you could try an airstone in the sump too. How is the tank stocked?

I run a tetra300 airpump in my sump 24/7.
 
I can say I'm overstocked got 3 aros and 2 stingrays planning to upgrade but afraid my place is gonna collapse due to weight, I live on the 5th floor in the projects free water free elect but I'm just over over filtering til I can find out the weight I can upgrade. Filtering is def. not a problem I already have 3 150+ gallon canister filters running and a 1020 gph pump already have a order placed on a 1800 gph due to my other pump being loud. I will try putting a air stone in my wet and dry any recommendations?
 
since the tank is in my room kinda getting annoyed of the spray bar splashing all night if there is anyone else who have any other ideas that would be really helpful. and if i was to put a airstone in my wet and dry where would i put it? my wet and dry only consist of two parts the bio balls and the secondary part where my pump goes. im planning to make another wall of filter pad in front of my pump to prevent debri from going into my pump. would i put the airstone in the pump side or the side next to my bio balls
 
Dont put the airstone by the pump. It will suck in air bubbles and you will have more bubbles clouding up the tank
