Even new sand doesn't rinse well.

The best way is to go outside and use the hose. It will take several hours of rinsing to come clean. This is what I did when I got 300lbs for my garden eel tank. It was an all day thing and then it still took the tank a couple of days to clear. With old sand it may take a bit longer but shouldn't be too difficult. I never understood why people suggest throwing old sand away. New sand has to be rinsed like crazy anyway so why not keep the old sand if you already have it...

Have you considered bare bottom ?
Sounds like a phosphate problem waiting to happen
