i have a 30g..30x12x18

18 inch bubbler wand. (the green ones)

1 AC 70 (for 30-70g tank)
1 AC 50 (for 20-50g tank)

currently i have the 18inch green wand across the back to the right, which takes half the tank ( a inch or so over)

then i have both AC next to each other also in the back left,

so the bubble wand creats some type of small current, and both AC do the same (a stronger current though). all three creates the current heading towards the front of the tank..

i do not see any dead spot when i feed,

is this a good thing or should i not have all the current heading the same direction?

or maybe put the wand in between the filters?

a school of barbs (6)
2 blue gouramis(oops)
2 small rainbow sharks
2 mystery snails
 
The wand really won't make much current. I think you ar fine just the way you have it set. FWIW, I decided on having my two filters (Penguin 125s on a 29 gallon) on either end of the tank. This provides a nice current throughout the entire tank.
