I have one of those top fin filters where the cartridge just slides in and its looking dirty! The water in the filter is overflowing, ive tried rinsing the filter in tank water and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas to stop the overflow?

will that re-cycle my tank?

Yes, I would stuff the new media behind the old media for a month, then take the old out, and fill the rest of the space with the new media. That'll minimize the mini cycle you'll go through when you remove the old media.
