I don't claim to be an expert here, what I'm saying is a product of things I've witnessed, and things I've read. There is no guarantee that I am right.
My understanding of anaerobic bacteria is that they can not be exposed to an oxygen rich environment, or they die. At the same time, aerobic bacteria can not be suffocated, or they die.
I'm sure that seeding with live sand helps, I just don't think you can create an "instant DSB in a bucket" with live sand or otherwise. It, like everything else in this hobby takes time.
