Beer racking.
 

I generally rack my beer after 5 days into a second carboy and leave for a week! The reason I do this, is so it is still fermenting and I know it will continue fermenting in my secondary. Then I won't get oxidation in my beer cause during the fermenting there is a layer of carbon dioxide between the beer and the oxygen. I haven't had any problems yet but thought I would see if there is a better way I should be doing it? ( both carboys are well sealed!)

The only better way I can think of is, well, skip secondary altogether. Primary for however long you think is necessary (usually 1-2 weeks for me) then package that bad boy ;)

I rack to take it off the sediment. And leave to try to clear the beer, I also add finning in secondary stage! Ive tried just primary and the clarity and taste isn't as good.

I never use a secondary:

Bright as the moon! TETO :)

That looks good bud! Rewarding huh!

Good job! Reward isn't it!

But you use a gas grill, so your opinion can't possibly be taken seriously.;)

Seriously though, I secondary all my batches except hefes, but that looks damn good for primary only.

Thanks, what sort of times do you primary and secondary? Mines 5 primary 7 secondary. Have you left it in the secondary for a long time before? Does it make more difference?

You can leave it in the primary as long as you need or want to. A lot of us on here rarely if ever use secondary.I even dry hop in primary. I do use secondary once in a while, mainly if I need the primary bucket.
