DSB Air Bubbles?

[jpeavytx]

A week ago today I have to move everything from my old tank to a new one because of a crack in the brace. For the past day or two I keep on seeing air bubbles coming up from the DSB, will this cause any harm? There are not alot of them, just everyonce in awhile. On the front of the tank I can see some air bubbles trapped beneath the top layer. Will this affect anything in the tank or will everything be ok?

Should be fine. Just leave the bed alone, no sifting or stirring. If you set a DSB up before, you should remember the bubbles phase.

The bubbles are actually just nitrogen from the bacteria. Yeah just keep them there because they will release themselves eventually.

I figured it was no big deal. Yeah I haven't even began to think about messing the the sand bed. Just when I first setup the tank to cycle I didn't pay too much attention to it so I never really saw the bubbles then. Also I am having a diatom bloom, I guess from moving the sand? Wont this go away with time?

Yes, the diatom bloom will go away with time.
