GOD I HAD A MILLION OF THOSE THINGS, I had them everywhere though, even on the glass and rocks...I eventually just got so fed up that I just scraped them off...But I still have some int he sand, some of them are really little and I just see them look like they come nowhere out of the sand, (i probably get 1-3 per second, varying in size), and some of them are large bubbles on the bottom, with algea growing over the top of them...what do we do?

If its groups of bubbles sticking to the sand in what appears to be a layer of algae its probably cyano beginning to form. Same way on the glass power heads etc.
If its a random bubble appearing out of the sand bed and rising up to the water level its most likely nitrogen gases as drew said. This is a good thing and often can be seen when the sand bed is disturbed by a passing hermit. This is how a DSB functions to export nitrates and these are not hermit crab farts. :joy:
