Bubble Curtain Advice?

I currently have a 'bubble curtain rod' ( similar to: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2752360 ) in the back of my 3 gallon aquarium. It's light blue, hard, and suction cups to the back of the tank.

The problem with it is that it is very inconsistent as far as bubbles are concerned. Near one end it releases huge bubbles very forcefully and at the other end very tiny bubbles come out almost floating.

Can someone recommend something that will give me consistent bubbles throughout the back of my tank?

Preferably something from DFS since I'm going to order a few items from there anyway.

Thanks.

Hi! Most of the loner bubble wands do that as the air pressure diminishes the further it has to travel. I have one of those same bubble wands at the end wall of my 10g tank. I also have these regulators on the tubing of all my bubblers:

Personally I don't like the bubbles to be at full force. In a 3g I would just use either an airstone or a small bubble wand..maybe like this:

This Rena makes really fine bubbles. It is neat.

Hope this helps.
