@@MikeTytula Right, but it would have been good to know how you did it, and what the result was. I just filled up my Fluval Flex 15. I used Fluval Stratum; I think it's similar to the substrate you used. I followed the instructions on the bag, rinsing gently before putting in the aquarium. I used a collender, and filled it about 1/3 to 1/2 with substrate, rinsed and then put it into the aquarium. Took about 12 loads to do all of the bag. I put a piece of wax paper over the substrate and wood, and filled the aquarium gently by pouring the water over my hand. The result was pretty good. There was some cloudiness, but not much and it was pretty much gone in a few hours.

You never want to wash the fluval stratum as it tends to loosen the granules and is much more difficult to achieve a clear tank right from the start. The method you mentioned definitely works though!

About all I'd put in a tank like that would be a pair (male and female) of Bettas, a few tetras, some shrimp a little pleco/cleaner cat species that won't get big but will take care of the algae, and maybe a couple little dwarf African water frogs.

like I said that's all I'D put in it, you will do something different I'm sure. I've never been a fan of people putting bettas in little quart and a half dishes or 1 gallon tanks. They are so pretty and can be kind of funny when given space and a community aquarium, so long as the other fish don't attack it's fins or the pump/filter isn't too strong. We've lost a couple bettas to too strong filters over the years. Those dwarf frogs are really cool. I've always wanted a little puffer tank too. I think if I ever have another fresh water tank that isn't a naturalistic tank it will be mainly cichlids and banjo catfish and stuff.
