Curing Live Sand?

I am planning to order 20 lbs of LS from this site, as I am removing my CC. Will I need to cure the live sand, and if I do, how does one go about doing so?

Is it a new tank or has it been set up for awhile? Is there anything in the tank? Fish, LR?

if you are ordering the live sand from this site i believe it is already cured (has all the bio-bacteria growing) and you can just add it to your tank. You only need to cure the sand if you purchase the southdown play sand that does not have the bacteria growing.
