I have been noticing some small bubbles coming from the sand when the crabs walk over some areas. My sand is only about two inches deep as far as sand stirring I have a small conch. My tank is a 24 gallon jbj. I am wondering if the sand is not getting stirred up enough and if maybe I need to add another sand stirrer. I was afraide of starving them due to the smaller area of sand in the tank. Maybe a small cuc, mabe some sand snails ??

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift that's why they call it the present.

Air bubbles coming from the sand is pretty normal I think. The nitrate eating bacteria turns the nitrates into a gas that is released when an animal stirs the sand or it may build up and rise by itself. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's normal.
