Ok, i own 2 imperial scorpions "gaberial and lucifer" i am not sure on how big the tank should be and what i should have in it. at the moment i have got 2 peices of bog wood so they can hide under them, i also have some peat moss and some bark in there with them. its nothing to exciting for them, to be honest its plain and boring, i want to really liven it up but i aint sure on how big the tank should be, i am not sure if the tank i have is big enough for them, but when i get home tonight i will take some pictures of the tank and post them on hear. so you can all give me you opionion, but if possible can you all post a picture of your tanks so i can have an idea?

You have some problems.
1. Sand is a no no. it will get between their plates and be an iritate them and it wont hold enough humidity.
I would go with Coco bedding. it will work grate.

2. A longer tank would work better. I cant tell the size you have but if you have the resourses I would pick up a 20 Gallon long critter cage. they have a sliding screen top and would be the perfect size for 2 emperors.
I would put about 4-6 inches of coco bedding down and put moss in some places(leave some bare soil so they can dig) also a small shallow water dish they can easily get in and out of if they decide to have a bath then just put your rocks and drift wood where you like it. Emperors tend to rearange the tank a bit so dont get offended if they dont like your decorating skills.

3. Google Emperor Scorpion Care, you will find all you need to know.
