I created a lesser air current by getting one of those adjustors that allow you to, well, adjust the airflow going to the stone. They hang on the rim of the tank and have a little knob that you turn to increase/decrease air flow. They are pretty cheap at aquarium stores. For the tiny hatchlings, I had nothing but the slightest aeration, but I increased it as the tads grew. Some air pumps have a screw in them that you can tighten/loosen to do the same thing, but I think the newer ones don't usually have this.
