Those are most probably oxygen bubbles from algae growing in your sandbed

1. Those are probably bubbles of nitrogen.

I kind of doubt so bro Kalib
Since the front glass is exposed to light, many types of algae will grow there (even more so if you have a really deep sandbed)
Nitrogen bubbles are more commonly seen around the centre of the sandbed
