10 gallon setup, etc.

I got a free, used 10 gallon tank. I'm going to divide it for my 3 bettas. I'm wondering about a few things. I bought a Whisper 10i filter. I'm going to make my own dividers with the plastic canvas/craft mesh so I'll only need one filter. I'm planning on putting the filter on the side where my female will be, because she's a good swimmer, and I'm going to put Fishie, my largest HM male on the opposite end because he has a bit of trouble with filter current. Will the tank filter ok, even on the opposite end? The dividers must inhibit the flow a bit.
Also, I thought I read that this is generally a low flow filter. Is that right or am I thinking of a different filter?
I can start the cycle with filter media from my 5 gallon. The BB is also on the gravel too, right? I'm going to transfer the gravel over- will that also help start the cycle?
Also, how do I transfer my plants from my 5 gallon? Will they get all disturbed from me uprooting them? My rosette sword has been in the tank for about 5 months and I imagine it has a good root system. My Amazon sword also has been in there for a couple of months so the roots are probably established.
TIA!

With the mesh, I'm not sure exactly how this will filter the whole tank. Perhaps placing the filter in the middle? Anyhow, there's a poster on this forum somewhere who did a DIY divider with filter that acts like a barrack/drip system. You might want to look into that on the search button. Starting the cycle by seeding is definitely a good idea for faster establishment of a cycled tank. Good luck OA.

Thanks.
Anyone else have anything to add?
