Don't floc your floc, unless you really want to a big floccing problem!
(Sorry about that!)
But, seriously, most flocs don't floc themselves well and in excess can actually result in suspending stuff so you can't get it out.
Filter and chlorinate, and don't dose with filter aids etc for at least a week or two. If you've got a sand filter, be careful to backwash ONLY when you see a pressure increase. You can add a little DE powder to help get the find stuff out -- but be careful, and make sure your filter will catch the DE instead of blowing it back into the pool. (So add a cup or two, and then watch your returns -- if the DE comes back into the pool, STOP. Otherwise, add a quart or two.
