Do I have to agitate it?
Are the finer particles going to just float to the surface where They can pour off with the water as it overflows the bucket?
Sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions but would like to do things right.
Thanks for any replies!

Just shove the hose in there and wait until the water turns clear. You can agitate the sand to get all the cloudiness to rise. Some people rinse with RO and some say no need. If you have RO water at hand why not use it.
I didn't use RODI water after I rinsed mine and my tank was fine. No algae as I also kept my lights off.
