what's the upside of using dry or live sand? Does live sand really help? What will get the sandbed the nicest looking color?
 
Dry sand contains no moisture and no bacteria or microorganisms. In contrast to live sand, dry sand is cheaper per pound. Live sand is natural sand populated with millions of beneficial bacteria and organisms which aid in the dissolving of organic wastes like ammonia, nitrites and nitrates produced by larger organisms in saltwater aquariums. Live sand can be purchased from aquarium stores, but many hobbyists make their own by seeding dead sand with live sand from other aquarium systems. (hat tip to wikipedia)
