Alk is pretty high. Did you test ammonia or phosphates? I would treat it like a brand new tank for a couple of weeks because the sand can have some die off whether it was bought new in a bag or moved from an old system and disturbed. After a coulpe weeks of testing and ammonia dosing I would think its fine.
