they can be black and most definitely will live in gravel..best to check with a microscope to be sure.. if it's spider mites, a predator mite is the way to go.. use yellow sticky cards to catch some for viewing

Except that spider mites aren't usually black and don't live in gravel. They live on the underside of plant leaves.

Spiders are good. Spiders do not harm plants or fish. Spiders eat the bugs that might harm your plants. Leave them alone. They're probably catching fungus gnats so tell them "thank you"when you see them. ;)

When you add a new bed onto a system, that won't cause any ammonia or nitrite spikes. It would be a good idea to let the new bed start to be colonized for a time by the bacteria before adding more fish to the system. If you go adding more fish into a system at the same time as you hook up a new bed, you might see spikes if the system was already near capacity before.
