Yes, you can use that sand. Of, at Lowes or Home Depot, search for Quickcrete Med. grain white sand. It's $3 for a 50lb bag and works perfectly.
Live sand is nice, yeah...but also expensive. Get the sand from Home Depot/Lowes and then go and get 2lb. - 3lb. of live sand and mix it. Soon all of your sand will be "live sand".
