If you are setting up a new system, you may as well go with new everything instead of taking a risk that you might pass something bad along to the new tank. (Yep, I did that.) Tearing down your new tank will be disheartening and perhaps make you want to give up. We want you here showing off your tank instead of tearing it down. This is just my opinion -- you do what you need to do. I'm glad you have come back to the party. Welcome back!

Thanks for the advice! I am going to go with the two 40lb bags of dry sand from BRS. You are absolutely right, I do not want to be tearing down my brand new system. Going to keep it as pure as possible with dips and QT etc.

Welcome. Not sure if it was mentioned, but doing a build thread is always fun. Keep the pics coming

That's a good idea! I missed the stand building part but I may start documenting from here on.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the rebuild! Looks like it'll be a fun journey for you. Hope the transition goes smoothly and, imo, I wouldn't reuse your sand. It's likely to have all the nasties you mentioned in it, so not a great idea.
