air in sand

hey all
i have an air bubble problem in the tank and it comes from my dsd. a lot of air is stuck in the sand and i was woundering what could i do to get it out of there. i have a lot of stuff in the tank so i dont want to just move the sand around. is there any animal that would go in the sand and would move it enough so all air would come out?so anyways if you guys have anything that come to mind any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

Hi Acenia,
Don't worry about the bubbles in your sand bed as this is normal it is just the final stage of the nitrogen cycle.And this it just evidence of nitrogen gas being produced by anaerobic bacteria ......................................................................................John

I just shove my algae scraper down the front of the glass through the sand, as I don't like the 'look' the bubbles give. It looks dirty...even tho I know it is a good thing going on;D


Go ahead and stir where it bothers ya! Sand should be randomly stirred anyway. (not all at once...like half to a third at a time) IMHO

 

Allot of the bubbles that come up from the sand get caught under some LR. Do i just let them be for now or should i use a baster to blow them off.

 

what would this mean, when my tank was about 1 years old there were some bubbles that came up from the sand once and a while, now its almost 2 and there r not really any more bubbles? what does that mean?
