how long will live sand last in a bucket would it be ok for 2 or 3 weeks ?
As long as it’s heated and aerated yes. You can keep it in a bucket with a small poweread for circulation and a heater it will be fine.
How long does that livesand stay alive at the lfs sitting on the shelf in a sealed bag?

I’ve always been a firm believer that the stuff you buy in the store is BARELY live sand. They can call it live sand because anytime water is present there is bacteria. It may not be enough or even the right kind of bacteria - but it’s still bacteria so it can be called live.
