Sand Beds for Wrasse's

My new Tank wil be around 200g and I think Wrasse's will be the fish of choice when we finally get the new tank, haven't made up my mind yet on an SPS or a softie Zoa dominated tank also I would like to have as many different types of them in the new tank as we can. We had a red Wrasse in our current tank, but he died when the dosing pumps dosed to much 2 part in the tank (my fault, not the pumps). He didn't bury himself in the sand at night, he would wedge himself between the back glass and a piece of live rock, this may have been because we don't have a deep sand bed in our present tank. I have read, that for most of the different types of Wrasse's, they like to bury themselves in the sand bed at night. How deep of a sand bed should I put in the new tank to accommodate these fish, or will they just make do like the one that we had. I have read pros and cons, mostly cons about having a deep sand bed in a DT.
