About 4 months into my 75g tank with about 4-5"'s of sand started to bubble away and freaked me out. I learned that it was nitrogen gas being released from my sandbed into the water and then back into the air...A complete cycle. My DSB works very nice and as the gobies and hermit crabs dig and walk around the bubbles get released from the sandbed. Pretty neat...
