Nate, you don't "have" to have live sand.. even regular dry sand will become live later. As far as live rock maybe www.aquacon.com or check local craigslist/possibly aquabid. TFP has a good price on live rock for a retail store.
That sand is as live as dry--don't waster your $$$. Fill it with dry sand from Home Depot (well rinsed) & take a handful of another reefer's sand from their established tank, to seed it. Look for a local reef club at: www.reefcentral.com.
i would make sure it not silicate sand first. a lot of ppl have made the mistake of using pool filter sand and had algae issues up the ying yang. buying dry argonite is okay and seeding it with a small bag of live will work as well. same goes for the LR getting 13 lbs of base rock and seeding with 2 lbs of live will work. it will take a while but it will get there.
