Sand is better because they can dig and sift through it.

Just a suggestion: DON'T put real driftwood in a brackish aquarium, it will start stinking to high heaven (at least all the wood I put in my brackish tank has.)

If I set my tank up as shown above, I'll save money and I can have my fiddler crabs by this weekend. All Im gonna have to buy is a hydrometer, sea salt, and a test kit. Im gonna add my heater to the bottom of the tank in the back. It's at 80F is that ok? I also have some small river stones for the tank. I have it setup in my room. Its just to give me a look at how it will be. I thought of a great way to make burrows in gravel for the fiddlers, but I dont know about it. You can get a regular plastic water bottle and cut of half of it. Then you can arrange it in the gravel for the fiddlers.

*When I get the hydrometer, should I get the one that looks like a thermometer or the one you fill with water?
 
I picked up a new thermometer, a hydrometer, and a bag of marine salt. I mixed some of the salt with the water I had in the tank already. How long should I wait before testing the water with the hydrometer? I ended up getting the one that you fill with water. The directions they gave are a bit complicated so I'll need some help with that. The water is abit cloudy from the salt and I have the filter running in the tank to agitate the water. And someone told me that they dont need a heater and they are fine at room temp. Is that a true statement? In about 3-4 days I'll be getting a couple of fiddlers.
