You know who cares? You are going to cycle your tank anyhow. Give it a nice rinse with a colander to get the "chunks" out and let your tank cycle. There is the ammonia starter.
I rinsed the sand from two tanks that had been sitting a month in pails and my tank still cycled in 3 weeks.
As long as you don't plan to add anything the next day you should be fine. If it is all new sand.... it'll be a piece of cake anyhow... I never even rinsed my new sand.... dropped it right in. It'll settle on its own in a few days if you don't just dump the water at will.
