Anyone have live sand for sale?

Hello, I'm thinking of setting up a small biocube nano reef. Does anyone have any live sand I could buy to start seeding it?

With shippping costs for weight, you'd be better off checking and local fish store.

Well I wasn't wanting much just a few handfuls to get the cycle going.

Welcome to the site. You can just seed your sand with live rock. It will become live sand eventually.

+1. Way cheaper to do this and a fish less cycle. I am in the process of this on my 1st SW as well.

No reason to spend more money on "live" sand that has been sitting on a shelf in an airtight bag for how long?

I used to have hermit crabs and still have untouched sand that they didn't use I am willing to give this to you with no price science I won't even use it no more for anything

Would the sand be safe for an aquarium?
