If you have live rock that will seed the sand and you won't need live sand unless you just wnat to mix the two.

Dead sand becomes live sand. As said the live rock will seed it.

if you look at other members tanks... about 99% of them use sand beds... not crushed coral. There are reasons for this, the foremost being that crushed coral is a trap for detritus and will slowly build up nitrates in your tank. Sand is much easier to vacuum if needed and will become a benefit if you decide to do a Deep Sand Bed (4"+)
