Yes, good point to bring up. There really is no reason to add live sand of any kind if you're using live rock. The live rock will seed the sand. I don't bother with any kind of live sand, unless I'm replacing a sandbed while the tank is still running in which case I opt for the "live" bagged sand for the simple fact that it's pre-rinsed and causes less cloudiness upon initial use. I really think that's the only benefit of the "live" bagged sand.
