Interesting setup, good stock ratio, but the pipings and gadgets simply confuses me.

I have a few questions:

1)Is it a continuos overflow system, whereby water drips and flows out continuosly?
2)Where does the water from the submersible pump pumped into? Is it pumped to the boy filter (black box on top left)?
3)Where are the filter medias,if any?
4)The vertical pipe at the left of the tank, is that an overflow pipe?
5)Is the 'overflow out' drained off by the floor trap or is it collected into the pail?

I love the idea of a tap above the tank, and the drain off below on the floor.This setup has to be one of the easiet to manage when it come to water change.
