Waterbox AIO 64.5 Filter media question

[M0nsterUnderY0urBed]

Hi there! I am newish to the hobby. I have a 64.5 AIO from Waterbox. I cannot find anything anywhere about how to set the media up. Currently I am using the 2x filter socks on each side (Took out one to place the heater in). The next chamber (on either side) houses a filter sponges followed by the activated charcoal and then bio balls on top of that. The center chamber houses the pump. I keep dealing with cloudiness (which I believe is from my pistol shrimp) and water evaporation. I did have the heater in the center chamber with the pump, but I noticed way more water evaporation there. I have no idea where the best placement is.

Can someone share how their AIO 65.4 is set up? Thank you!

I have left sock chambers as is. I place activate carbon under socks on left side.

second chamber bio balls on bottom with sponge on top and header

third chamber return pump

4th chamber second heater

5th chamber skimmer

6th socks

Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I am going to give that configuration a shot.

I replaced my socks with filter cups from kraken reef. Now once every day I place about half full of Polly fill like you would stuff pillows or toys with.
Second chamber on left side has a heater and reactor pump for gfo or carbon.
Center chamber has my return pump and auto top off sensor.
2nd chamber on right side has a skimmer and the return flow from reactor. And 2nd heater.

I do not use the foam pads or bio balls
