 Doesn't matter, that's why EmilyB said fish food - you can just toss in a small bit of mysis, or a piece of cocktail shrimp - whatever.  Anything to get the cycle started and allow bacteria to multiply.  Your water and a bunch of LR will certainly help that along too.  You could also seed his live sand with a handful of your own.
