Sand covered bubbles. (new sand substrate)

I put black sand in my divided 2.5 for my bettas. The thing is, the water is full of little bubbles which the sand seems to like sticking to. Now I have tingy sandy bubbles all over my water. Will the go away on their own?

Yep, just give it a day or two and the bubbles will be gone.

Once bacteria start growing on the sand, it will stick to itself and settle in nicely.
