The only times I ever see air bubbles on the sand bed is when a cyano bacteria bloom is about to start or denitrification bubbles. Do you have red slime on the sand bed that trap these bubbles or are they coming from under the sand? Denitrification bubbles are normal in a healty sand bed, but if its a coating bacteria like cyaon, you should look into some form of remedy.
