ALSO when you get live sand OR play sand do u have to wash it before you put it into your tank or not? well advice would be helpful THANKS ALOT(TIA)

Yes, you can mix the 2. If you are getting live rock, I would not waste the money on the live sand. The rock will seed the sand with life.
You can rinse the playsand, but do not rinse live sand. Would loose the live part of the sand by doing this.
