Sand bubbles can usually be three gasses. Nitrogen if you have a DSB and the bed is removing nitrate. Carbon dioxide, usually at night, produced by algae and oxygen, usually in the day, produced by algae or denitrification. A bubbly bed is an active bed and is, as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing.
