I'm starting a 40g nano and was at my local fish store yesterday buying the live sand I saw Carib super natural which is not live but cheap so decided to but 2x10lb bags to mix with 30lb live sand to start my cycle I'm also adding about 30lb of dead live rock(it's been out of water for about 1 month and 20lb of live rock... I noticed the Caribsea sand says neutral PH will this affect my system or should I go with just live sand and stop being cheap? Lol

You should go with all dry sand and quit throwing your good money away on the "live" sand which costs more and adds little or no value.

Just make sure to rinse the sand very well!
