You can just add live rock right in to your tank. but first i would take it one piece at a time and clean all the previous die off with a toothbrush. the live sand would just act like another bio filter. it really depends on what you want to do but i do recommend it. Also they do have diffrent types of LR but they will all do the same thing. some comes with different shapes and hitchikers!

Good luck

You can go without live sand, but I like it. There is a thing called bare-bottom method, you can look into that.
