*** found no way to get every little bit out, i just dump it in a 5 gallon bucket and stick in a garden hose, to the bottom and stir occasionally. While thats going on, i set up my hot magnum filter with the pleated cartridge in it, then prior to putting it on the tank i load the cartridge with DE powder, and run that in a bucket until all i get is clear water.

Essentially making a home made DE filter which will take the tiniest particles out of your tank water.

Hope that was understandable
