Live sand question

[phil1964]

Just brought home a new tank.
2 casualties.
A door off the stand which can be fixed and a bag of live sand.
One of the bags got somewhat squished and leaked some
liquid on the floor board of my new truck which tickes me off more than anything.
Is this LS toast?
Can I still use it?
I will not be putting it in the tank for at least 2 weeks.
P.S We got everything in but the tank.
Need more muscle. It is a 180.
Does anyone think it can be tilted on end and use a large 2 wheel dolly to carry it or is this a bad idea?
Also FYI a 180 with a stand and a canopy does not fit in a truck with a cap very well.

If you don't do something to keep the sand live, it will most likely die over a two week period. I can't imagine anything could survive that long.

get the muscle sooner and/or provide the LS with heat, circulation and areation...

p.s. as long as the 180 is empty, just get it in. Use a 2-wheeled dolly, or whatever, as long as you don't damage the structure on the way in....
