IMO buying used sand and rinsing it because of all the dead matter is not worth the time, been there done that. You're just starting yourself off for failure.
Not sure if you realize that once the dead sand sits it is very toxic. I just dumped a whole bucket out and it was putrid. Even if it was free you have to rinse but by bit.
Huge chore and waste of time to save pennies...new sand needs to be rinsed aswell but not that bad as used sand.

Good luck to you bro but if the used sand leeches all kinds of death you will be spending lots on salt for waterchanges and messing up your tank from the get go!
