I was going to go get about 160 pounds of live sand to put in my 220 gallon aquarium from a guy who is getting out of the hobby. Right now the sand is in his tank and we were going to put it in a rubbermaid container for transport. The only thing is i dont have any water or anything in my tank yet because i am doing things like plumbing and staining the stand. How long will live sand survive in the rubbermaid in saltwater? Do i need to do anything to facilitate keeping it alive? it should only be about 3-4 days before i can put it in my aquarium but is that too long? There are also about 20 nassirius snails in the sand too. Any help is greatly appreciated.
