Aragonite Sand - Champagne Bubbles forming

[JVReef]

Hi Guys,

I recently converted an existing tank of 12 years to a new tank. Maintained all the same water, live rock, aragonite sand, corals and fish.....took ~ 2 hours to convert.

After setting up (6 hours later) , I did a 30% water change and added a 20 lbs of CaribSea Live Sand.

4 weeks later......5-6 hours into the lighting cycle i get Champagne like bubbles coming out of the Sand Bed. I also have 2 Conch that seem to stir it up fairly well during the night hours.

What do you think.....too much organic waste? or ??????

Cyanobaterium produce Oxygen. Oxygen will form bubbles and rise to the surface.

That sounds reasonable......how do I control it?
