I got two new bags of sand but i dont want to throw my old sand away....

if placing it in a "system" without light and doing water changes is all that is necessary.... sounds like I could just go ahead... rinse it a bit and start my new tank cycling and let it clear up... there is only about 20-25 lbs.... less than half of what I am adding new.

Clean the worms out and go to town???
