Are the fish still in there? Generally, major cleaning and stirring of an established sand bed is a no-no because you can release noxious gases like hydrogen sulfide, anaerobic bacteria, and ammonia or nitrates. If you want to clean the sand, you need to get the fish out and transfer the sand to a bucket. Rinse sand with water multiple times in the bucket until the rinse water runs clear and then put back in your tank, then reintroduce live stock. Research “rip clean” for more info.

ny recomendaciones for stands under $30?

bruh - if your budget is $30 for a stand that can actually support a fish tank, you need to DIY (build one with 2x4, check my build thread if interested) or you're in the wrong hobby frankly.

That being said, you can take the first recommendation to your post and add a solid piece of plywood (painted if you wish), cut to correct size to the back of the stand for support.

Keep an eye on your fish for signs of distress like heavy fast breathing, but its probably fine and the damage is already done (if any) since the sand is all out already. Maybe get a bucket of saltwater made up and do a water change if you see any fish issues. You can also try to siphon the bubbles out with an airline tube. If you have the types of window blinds that have a stick you twist to open close the slats, you can take it off and tape or rubber band the airline to that stick. Works great to direct the siphon where you want it with a flexible hose.
