Hi,

I think your live sand should be ok, i would just keep it wet and then transfer. I wouldn't rinse because you'll kill all of your bacteria on the sand. Unless it's going to be a week or so, then you might start over on the sand, but if you can transfer it within 48 hours, it will maintain the bacteria.
