A friend gave me 40lbs of coral sand. He was going to set up a salt water aquarium but gave up. He rinsed it, so it's wet now.

Can I store it in the bucket? Will wet sand invite fungi and bacteria? Should I drop a bleach solution in the bucket? Should I dry it and then store?

I would spread it out so it can dry before storing it any length of time.
