bubbles under my LR

good or bad?

Please describe/explain further?? It is common for bubble to accumulate in the sand (denitrification), but more than likely in your LR it is something else.

when i look under my LR i can see pockets of air stuck in the crevices

There are obviosly some bubbles floating around in the water, I would look for the source of bubbles and try to fix that, and use a turkey baster to blow the accumulated bubbles out from under the rock.

I get bubbles under the LR sometimes because my skimmer will introduce tiny bubbles into the water and it will accumulate under the rocks. To combat this i have the water from the skimmer's overflow, running down through a flolded piece of 50micron filter pad. This does not get rid of all the bubbles, but it takes care of most of them. My skimmer just sucks.

I have Live Sand, and it constantly produces little bubbles. Sometimes these bubbles get trapped under the LR, but never really accumulate.

I was told this was normal for Live Sand to produce bubbles . . .

Just my 2 cents,
Todd
