Using old sand in a new tank

Has someone used the old sand in their new setup? I'm talking about a same day move and setup in a new tank. Just a quick rinse or very thorough? Was there a mini cycle afterwards or any ill effects? I know running carbon is a good idea but any other tricks? TIA.
 
Very thorough wash if it's absolutely necessary, if in doubt just drop the coin on fresh sand and call it done.
 
Yeah me and u were taking about this yesterday. My sand is only a month old lol i may just stir it up and scoop out the sand leaving the dirty water behind
 
i have used old sand that was put in a bucket for 3 days and then i put in new tank. i washed the srap out of it when i put it in and the tank is perfectly fine, no problems!
