I've always just gotten a little sand from the LFS. Doesn't take much.

save your money, get some live sand from a fellow hobbyist or from the pet store. you only need a pound or 2.

Save your money. Get dry sand, and if you really want to, put a scoop of someones established sand on top.
Every kind of bacteria you will ever need comes with your live rock anyway.

Can't afford Live Rock going with reefbones.

all you would need is 1# piece of live rock to seed your tank. it may not happen quickly, but that little piece will seed your whole display tank. Sand and your dry base rock
