With researching different larger aquariums
We can assume they don’t use water changes to maintain their public exhibits .
but they use rather complex filtration systems to maintain pristine water quality

are such systems available for our typical home aquariums ?
Other than rodi is there a filtration system we could employ
 
They also have some sort of treatment facility to filter and treat the water prior to mixing salt .
but …. To understand if it’s possible on a much smaller scale
 
Many of the filtration options like UV, ozone, biomedia, skimmers, have scaled down hobby versions.

I used to see lots of various small scale aquaculture filtration equipment at Pentair Aquatic Ecosystems. I haven't seen a small sock canister filter, but did work with a waist high unit with four bags that prefiltered water prior to UV.
