hi taz...
for lazier person like me will be just to start up canister filter and dump the bacteria near inlet...the good bacteria is actually present everywhere in your tank.
kevino's method is very good because it is directly seeding the filter sponge/bio ring/etc. and very efficient method for new canister filter/filter material...
after all and done, be patient and wait... a day or two
cloudiness will disappear[should]... your patience will be rewarded with crystal clear water
