I bought the caribsea DRY aragonite......I know it gets dusty and I won't have my tank for about another week......can I pre wash it now and get all the dust off it and just let it dry and put it in a bucket until my tank gets here??? Or would that mess something up with the sand?
 
No its harmless to do that. You can rinse it and keep it submerged with circulation to have access to all remaining silt

By pre rinsing my caribsea ocean direct ls for a very long time, my replacement sand can now easily be stirred and never cause a storm it was highly worth it.
