Yes, chamber 1, water enters and contains most bio balls. With the 14" high wall water doesn't flow over it, but through the 2 cut outs placed about 6.5" from the bottom. Cut outs- I believe they are 1" tallx3"wide, cenetred gives you 1" spaces from both sides and in the middle. Chamber 2 (the large one is where you'll grow the macro algae. Wall between 2 and 3 is 11", water flows over this one into Chamber 3 -the skinny one holding the other bioballs that catch any large macro before water enters chamber 4- the one with the pump.
If you decide to buy i know a website 849.99Pro-comes with the G1 skimmer and sedra 3500 pump. Or 507.99 without the skimmer- this is the one I have and I think shipping from CA. to Il. was $60. Still ended up being cheaper than buying everything seperate.

don't know if this pic is allowed, the red arrows show water flow
I see... so there are two cut outs on each side instead of one long one. does this setup stir up the mud in your system? it looks like it could?
and the wall between chamber #3 and #4? same cuts as the wall between #1 and #2?
