Apologies, I am just getting used to the chat function. I got some play sand from Home Depot that I want to add to the coconut substrate. Do I need to do anything to the sand before I add it like rinse it or bake it? Thank you!
3 crabs are named Michshelly, Tomatoa, and Ernie.

Hi there, No playsand is fine to add as is. 5 parts sand to 1 part ee is the normal ratio

make sure not to dig up any crabs, wait until they all come up or add one inch of sub every 24hrs

Hello! You would still want to moisten it with dechlorinated msw or dechlorinated fw to make it sandcastle consistency before you added it
