New owner , now doubting my enclosure :(

So last night my partner and i after much consideration finally got three BDFB , we set up their enclosure and put them right in , they seemed to love it much more than the tiny box they were in at petsmart . However after visiting this subreddit im realizing that alot of the information given to us at petsmart seems , well - not correct . I feel really guilty that i didn't take initiative and do more research before purchasing them . I understand my mistakes so please , be kind , i just want to know what i can do to make sure these little guys live a happy and healthy life !!!!

I'll attach an image of their current environment , its a 5gal tank and we were told to purchase a bag of calci sand , cricket quencher (so they dont drown) , dry food specifically for DFB , and one small hide .

We have two heat lamps , one for daytime and one for night .

I saw that they need calcium , and i have an overload of cuttlebone (i keep many isopods ,) i was wondering if i could use that to supplement calcium ?

TLDR : help !!! Need as much constructive criticism as possible !! My partner would be crushed if these little guys weren't living as well as they should .

Thankyou !!!
