Fishy,
You`d want your first bay to be fluidised really, then the second static bay would collect your `fines` before the water returns to your pond.
If you go the other way round, you`ll be quite upset at how ineffective your filter will seem, and at just how much crap goes straight through the filter.
Up to you though,
Chris (another one)
