I currently have a 29 biocube, and found a deal on a IM 40g, and I was wondering would there be any side effects if I scrapped my old sand and used new sand in the tank? Everything else will be old.
Transfer tanks, can I use new sand and not get spiked?

You will not want to used the old sand period. If you are transferring filter media and live rock you should be fine. I would definitely add a bacterial additive when you do the transfer, something like Dr. Tim's or Microbacter 7 just to help with the bacteria you lose in the process. Just make sure to keep an eye on your ammonia for a few days while the bacteria repopulates but you should be fine.
