Will do, thanks

Update: added floc last night and let it circulate for 2 hours per the instructions. Shut the pump off and let it sit till lunch today. Everything dropped to the bottom and vacuumed out pretty easy. Filling the pool back now and will let it settle out again to make another pass with the vacuum...

Thanks for the help. Wanted to wait it out but here goes nothing!!
