Then tell us what is it!
I don't think you have the slightest idea since I haven't seen other like
mine except in the university.

There's nothing new about filtering water in series :-)

When I do and proof you wrong, will you teach your customers to build an
in-series system?

That's silly. Maybe one day you will set up a reef tank, and then you
will know what this news group is all about.

It seems to me that you don't have an aquarium, the aquarium has you!
Do you ever go on vacation? if that's so, who does your weekly water
changes?
As far as I know, your weekly water changes replace all the filters in
your tank, might as well get rid of those because they are doing
nothing to your water.
And you only have a 55?
I have a friend that spent $3k on hardware and does water changes every
4 days, yes, almost twice a week.
I have to brag about it now, I have a 65gal with a minitank in series
of 20 gal, total of 85gals on my system and haven't done a water change
in a year yet with 30 inches of livestock that is the envy of my
neighbors because of how good it looks in my favorite place.
Soon I'll be posting pictures here but until I can manage to build a
better illumination system, I have to wait!

Most people do a 15% water change once a month. I like doing a 50%
water change about once every 3 to 6 months.
I do 6 gallons change in my 55 gallon tank weekly. Because of all the
rocks and corals, it's probably more than 15%. The RO/DI has to be run
weekly anyhow, and some green algae has to be removed that often and
the additives are used weekly + the coral feeding and the anemone's
weekly shrimp diet, so it just seems convenient. Also, 6 gallons is
how much fits in the pail, so I don't have to measure the level in the
tank. It just seems all around simpler to do all the weekly stuff at
once.
