Check out Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation Home Page for GARF Grunge. That stuff has all sorts of good stuff in it for your sand bed. You can mix it in the top layer of your bed.

GARF Grunge is not all it's cracked up to be. Don't do anything, your sand will be live by the time your tank finishes cycling anyway.
