no need to spend so much $$ on live sand , starting up a new tank im sure youll need to save $$ for skimmer,lights ect.. you can pick up some dry sand from eco-reef for $10 per 40lbs ... if you want you can get just 1 bag of the live stuff and spred it on top of the dry stuff to seed it
 btw id get 3-4 40lb bags of the dry stuff..if yur looking for live rock i belive roger is trying to get rid of some at a steal of a price..id start with the rock/sand and let it cycle for a while wich gives you time to get yur game plan together

Doing it this way should save some of the good stuff. Otherwise just take all the rock out and let it completely dry out in the sun, scrub it down, rinse it and start fresh with "dead" rock.

I believe Treeman sells live sand also. You might want to see if he has anything to offer. Good luck with the new tank.

Be sure to RINCE it, my tank was milky for 3 days.
Also, the sand may have salt with it too (mine did), so if your going to add water to it, be sure to check the salinity.
