I have 55 gallon tank that I started about 2 months ago and I can't seem to keep my live sand from getting dirty. I've purchased several hermit crabs and they died after about 3 weeks from nitrate toxins. So I went back to my LFS and purchased some more as well as a brittle star I also did a 25% water change out and that worked but, now I’m back to the same problem again and 'm just about ready to say that hell with it and take out all the sand and replace it with crushed coral. I've been assuming at this point I may not have enough hermit crabs I started with 30 and now I’m down to 10 or is something else that I can add to my tank to help stir around some of my sand?
