If I ever setup another tank it will be with properly cured dry pukani. IMO the absolute best rock for filtration there is.

Skip the live sand, yes it's wet, but how long has it been sitting on the shelve? How long did it sit in an unheated warehouse and probably froze/got heated to well over 80 degrees killing anything that may have been live. IMO live sand is a gimick so they can charge more for it.

Besides unless you want a dust storm in your tank, you need to rinse sand in plain water, and that will kill anything living in the "live sand".
