You could buy new sand.. And then over the next few months rinse your old sand and get it cycling in a tote.. Then reuse that sand when you move.

I'm going to rinse out the sand from my broken tank,, it's been sitting in a bucket on the roof for a month... Bet it stinks! And use it along with new, but the tank will cycle for a few weeks before I add any corals to it.


I tried BB once and I could never get my phosphates and nitrates under control. Once I went back to sand I guess it gave more surface for good bacteria to grow.. And nitrates and phosphates leveled out.
