This sound good....

Don;t wash ADA, it will break them down easily. ADA soil don;t require cleaing, you just let them settle down in the tank, they won;t cause any dirt to the water once your tank is stable. Try not to stir or create big movement to the soil also.

Meaning I just pour over the UGF and just add water and run the system till it clear up by itself? Like that need how long? Do I need to put filter wool in the UGF? Sorry for the questions.

Hahaa, yar. Just pour in the ADA soil, let it run and cycle by itself. You may want to take a look here to see how to go about doing it.
