Make your own sand?

I get mine from Petsmart - $29 for dry arragonite in a (i believe) #30 bag. No need to spend big bucks on "live" sand in a bag. Just seed the dry with a cup full from your LFS or a local reefer.

Would you not be worried about transferring a parasite from the substrate of a
LFS?
