Default

16x36x5 = 158lbs of sand (if you are using a density of 95lbs/sqft - this is the density of the sand ECO REEFER carries - aka Bahamas Fine Sand - also i used their sand bed calculator to do the math)

at 50 cents a pound thats about $80
at 75 cents a pound thats $120

so lets say $100 bucks.

If you have a large tote and siphon out a 5 gallon bucket at a time it will probably take a full day.

Problem is that you live in Good Ole Canada. Its FREEZING outside and will be for the next three months. So i would suggest waiting it out as long as possible than doing it in one move when you get the house. I dunno about you but doing this in the laundry room sink just doesn't seem like it will end will.

OR put an offer in for your new home less $100 and buy some new stuff
