I am establishing a deep sand bed in a standard 20 gal high. So far I have put in 20lbs of argonite sand and 20 lbs of argonite with the bacteria. I am now thinking of adding 20 lbs of saltwaterfish.com's Keys live sand.
Anyone here have experience with it. Does it have a good number of "critters" (worms, crabs and so on)? ;)

LS for the most part will not have what you need for a DSB.
you will want to get a detrivore kit.
crabs do not usually come in LS
if yoou allready have LS in the tank, there is really no need to add LS now, dry sand will do the trick
i suggest you read Dr. Ron Shimek's article on DSBs
