Leave the filter alone. Don't even rinse it IMO. Do a 100% water change and you can add your Betta to the tank if you want or continue it as a fishless cycle. You will have to get ammonia in the tank one way or another.

On the other hand, I did a 100% water change and acclimated king Neptune to the water and I just added him into the tank. He is swimming around gracefully checking out all the plants. He looks really pretty in it!
So just so I know I'm doing it right, test for ammonia and nitrates every day and do pwc's as needed until I get 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites for how many days in a row? And what do I do about the nitrates? Just wait and hope my plants start "eating" them?
I want to thank you guys so much for your help and support. I truly do appreciate it!
