The bubbles in the sand are nitrogen bubbles and it is a normal part of the nitrogen cycle .......... John

Id had my tank setup for at least 8 months and had fish and everything and I got back from vaca and there were huge bubbles on the sand.. It was a sight to see.. There was bubbles everywhere and some where midway to the top with algae keeping them from floating up.. It was really disgusting but need to look at!
