I DID rinse mine, and the tank was still cloudy for a few days. Now, a week later, it is crystal clear. I imagine the filter will clean it.

50% water changes until it starts to clear up or 25% water changes and give it a few extra days
i say water changes due to the fact you didnt wash it and dont want anything in your tank to harm your fish when you do add.

I would do partial water changes every day for the next several days.

Do Water changes every 2 days untill it is clear. I looked at the pic and I would actually do a 50% change now.
