Is this LS any good

[winland]

Newbie question coming.... :confused:
I have some used LS that is in a couple of large rubbermaid containers.
Probably 150# each, covered with saltwater, from original tank.
This sand has been in these containers, covered, for over 3 weeks.
No light, no water movement.
It is starting to smell pretty bad.
Is this live sand any good? Can I use it in a new setup, 125 gal tank?
If yes, is it possible to clean it, filter it, sift it?
Helpful suggestions VERY WELCOME.

You can clean it, dry it and re-use it, but it's sand and IMO not worth it.
Purchase it new and alleviate any problems.
