A sandy bottom shouldn't bother triops.
In fact triops like sand in the bottom of the tank because they can lay their eggs in the sand and cover them up. This prevents other triops from eating the eggs, and lets you hatch another batch later.
Just make sure you wash the sand first, and don't use ocean sand because it contains salt that could mess up the pH for your triops.

What else can I help you with?
What are the white clear things swimming in the triops tank?
possibly daphnia, baby triops or fairy shrimp. If you have just hatched your triops it is more likely to be fairy shrimp, but if they are over a week old they should have eaten all of the fairy shrimp, daphnia can become a problem when triops are well fed and dont eat them, but they wont hurt the triops
