Yeow.  Someone sold you a less than ideal set of prefiltes.  Assuming you are on city water w/o chloramies, a good combo is a 1 micron sediment filter and a 0.5 micron carbon block.  GAC prefilters really have no place in the high capacity systems we use in this hobby.  Really no need for a third prefilter, but you could use a second sediment filter or a second carbon block if you'd like.
