You would be fine to dump the sand into your tank and add some water. But if it is still in the original packaging then what would it matter to leave it for a couple more weeks? It could have sat on the shelf at the LFS for a couple more weeks and you still would have paid the same price and not know it!! Filtration should not matter at all, you have a 3 month cycle ahead of you anyways!!
