The junk looks like its a coppery-brown color... Anyone have any ideas, or should I just empty it's contents into a ditch and throw the tank in the garage and forget about it because thats about the point I am at...

No need to have the powerhead any where near the sand at this time.
In a week or so the most of the sand with start to bind as a result of bacteria and other activity.
