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.
