Following things I do for my 220 gal system...
- 10% per week water change - ~2 lb live rock per gallon - 4"-5" DSB (oolitic aragonite sugar sand) - Macro in the fuge - Keep stocking low - Massive skimming (SWC Xtreme Cone Protein Skimmer 250 1A) - Run biopellets. - Run GFO (am transitioning from GFO, just recently started using bio pellets) - Run highest quality carbon (Rox 0.8) My phosphates and nitrates are virtually nil.
