Excellent post
 Just to clarify this is for the DRY sand, not the Live, right?  (Just to make sure new people know the difference, soaking your live sand in RO water with no salt will surely kill it)

Yes the DRY Sand. Would be interested to see the result's from the live sand, if anyone has a new bag they would like to test..  I wonder if it would be the same?Simon

Ooops, I never rinsed it, oh well, worked ok for me... Tank is in great shape.
Not saying that you shouldn't, but I can honestly say I didn't think of it. But now looking at this thread, in future I will wash all sand.
