I've had this extra gravel stored in my shed for about a year or so now for whenever I intended to use it. I did notice though there its leaves and little other various things in there.

What's a good way to go about cleaning the gravel out when it's been left like this?

5 gallon bucket, a garden hose and your hands, its how I've always done it. Except for Fluorite, wrapped it in a tight polyster weaved material and worked a hose over it for a while. That crap never gets clean.

Yes this is the exact reason why i'm switching out my Flourite. Every time I do anything in my tank a huge dust cloud fills my tank. When I first used the Flourite, I spent all day rinsing it.

Give it a good rinse, but don't worry too much about it. As long as you haven't used any chemicals near it, there's nothing in the gravel that'll hurt your fish.

I'll never use it again

Me either. And I've had it planted in my tank for almost a year with virtually little to no growth. I've had much better success with Eco complete
