Tons of flow, I've spent as much time adjusting flow as I have doing anything else with my tank. Intermittent flow from a wavemaker such as Tunzes or Vortechs is best but the new Koralia Evos work good on a timer as well. Make sure every square inch of tank real estate has water movement to keep food particles and fish waste suspended.
Good husbandry practices are most important. Be sure not to overfeed and slow down the flow when feeding so you are feeding the fish and not the tank.
Be sure to include scavengers such as shrimp, crabs, snails, and bottom sifting fish as part of your livestock.
