The bubbles in the sand are probably air bubbles and the other ones probably mean that algae growth is going to occur. Maybe test your water?

How long has your tank been up?

The amount of Spirorbid worms that are in pic #3 would suggest the tank is or was at one time well established.
Why the bubbles now.....I don't know. Have you had a lot of die off or a really high temp spike recently?

eh i am quick to jump the gun, but if he/she has that many worms on the glass, where are the rest of the worms? maybe i havent started a tank from scratch in a while....i carry a bottle of LS and LR when i travel....

hm i will try for a full tank shot later the only thing i did was add two piece buffer calcium and alk. and maybe my girlfriend might have added regular tap water for top off. but the algea seems to be getting worst for specs its a 29 tall with 250 metal halide and cpr bakpack protien skimmer. and the kor something nano powerhead. currently for livestock there is hammer coral? maybe frog spawn not to sure lol and a lt plate a slimer and a mushroom with two clown fishes. i waited so long to add in livestock sad.gif maybe that was the mistake?

I think those may be a sign of Aceteminophor activity.
