If there isn't any livestock in the tank I would pressure wash it and set the tank up with it. Be sure add a few pieces of live rock to re-seed it. It's going to be loaded with phosphate so it may take a few months before the tank is habitable.

It's not a huge amount of rock and I've had it in my possession for 5 years now.. It's just rock is stupid expensive around here (~9 a lb) so it'll cost me about $200 to replace it. I don't need anything for the tank so the idea was it would be free and easy to get going.
I do worry about phosphate leaching tho. I had serious algae problems before but it was in a stock biocube with the bioballs and everything in the back so it was more likely caused by the nitrate factory in the back. I'm not using my biocube this time tho. So, I guess the real question is, should I just buy new rock?

Rock
If your really worried just cook the rock, use a powerhead, heater, Rubbermaid bin, and complete darkness.
