Rinse it as well as you can, then slowly add to tank. I would use a large plastic cup and lower it to the bottom of the tank and slowly pour it out.

thanks! I spent hours washing it lol, my god its soooo milky! any ways i got it down to where i thought would be ok, and scooped it out with a strainer (worked awesome, i would suggest it to others) and lowered it into the tank. Worked well! some cloudyness but not allot, so i think (hope) they will be ok.... I did a 25% water change after as well.... just finished, now wating to the crystal clear water to return........

Amazing how much dust is in there. Your filters should get most of it and what they don't should settle out pretty quickly. Good luck, hope you like the results.
