I used about 25-30 pounds from my nano tanks to start my 70 and added 45 more pounds new. Worked out good. I washed the sand as another had said... and let the tank cycle WELL. Dont toss your sand. It is definitely usable. Garden hose, colander and pail. And a couple hours of patience and wash and rewash.

Just wash it in the same tank water and re-use it. you may want to wash it 2 or 3 times - no need to pay for more...

Just use ordinary house screen and water and you will remove all larger chunks, works great! I put the larger chunks in frag tank!

Thanks all for the help. I did the swap tonight and we will see how it worked. I cleaned my existing sand and reused it. (Crossing my fingers).

Just remember to let it cycle as you will definitely have die a spike of some sort.
