| Re: i am noticing air bubbles in my sand bed....... Yup it means your tank is doing what it is supposed to do. Those are pockets of nitrogen gas. If you have sand sifters they will take care of them, nothing to worry about

| Re: i am noticing air bubbles in my sand bed....... Ammonia 101 - Ammonia is a gas but it mixes very readily with water. So well in fact that the accepted method of dealing with an ammonia leak is a water fog on the vapor. I work in an ammonia chemical plant and keep a nano in my office. Ammonia and nitrites are zero, nitrates stable at 10-15 ppm. Dissolved oxygen is always good and I too have bubbles in the sand and popping out of the rocks.
