If you disturbed the sand bed too much you probably also released waste trapped in between the particles and caused an ammonia spike. Atleast that's what I would assum

Digging the sand in sw tank is a no no it causes a lot of problems you have to wait for the tank to settle back down.

Why add more fish when you are having problems with things dying?
