if you have live rock eventually the sand will turn live as well

usually it take's about a month for your microfauna to reproduce enough to make dry sand live sand but save's you some money in the process.

How about a local pet store.. I got 60 pounds from petco.. Bags of 20 lbs are about $35.. Its gonna cost a lot to fill a 5 gallon bucket
