I have a about a 1/2 pail of Ls and the water from an old tank, but when you mix it a bit it really has a smell to it (rotten)

Is this sand still ok or (how do I tell) or if I was to change the water/rinse all the sand would it be ok to use or should i toss it all ?

toss it in and watch for an ammonia bloom..should be okay after it cycles

You cant really move it from one tank to another with out getting crazy bad nitrate and ammonia i would just clean the sand and let it become alive again in its own time
