As title says,
Do I need to clean pool filter sand before aquarium use?
I have it in one of those heavy duty supermarket bags and it is going to be a nightmare to clean if I have to.

Cheers
 
Yes you will probably need to clean it as it is likely to be full of dust.

I cleaned my sand by washing sieve full at a time, outside using a hose pipe. Yes dirty water did come off, but after a couple of seconds it runs clean. Don't do it over a sink as if you spill any sand it will quickly block drains if not careful.
