I'm not sure that Creature Soil is appropriate. Most of us use a mixture of 5 parts play sand to 1 part Eco Earth. Like Hermiesguardian said, substrate needs to be at least 6 inches deep (or three times as deep as your biggest crab, whichever is deeper), and need to be moist enough to hold it's shape so the crabs can make tunnels and caves to molt in. This also helps with humidity. Not sure if the Creature Soil can be moistened like that.
What is a 'tank heater'? An under tank heater is best - mounted on the back or side of the tank, never underneath.
