How to add new live sand???

[cato]

Just picked up 10lbs of live sand from my LFS today. Not the commercial stuff. It was from one of their tanks. I want to add it to my display tanks sandbed to create more biodiversity. Is there anything I need to do to it first or do I just throw it in???

I'd put it in the tank, maybe a 1/2" layer. Try not to agitate or stir more than is necessary.
