Ok here is my problem...I have a 55 that I am setting up and I was pretty sure I was ready to add water so I went and bought the live sand. Well it turns out that I should have thought thought things out a little better cause I am not completely ready. So will the live sand die w/o being in the tank with water? Right now it is in two plastic bags w/ no water. I can go ahead and put in in the tank with some water for now but the filtration will not be ready till Tues.
