Another 40G breeder tank build, but will go with 100% NSW

Today the tank turns 7 month old! Had a Cyno/Dino ugly phase the last 2 weeks but I think I'm over it now. My Nitrates and Phosphate where a zero. So I stop getting water for water changes and switched to feeding 3x a day. Was feeding once. Today my Nitrates tested at 3ppm and Phosphate .07. The plan is to get to 5ppm and keep phosphate >.03 but less than .1. Here is todays full tanks shot.

Hello all,

Its been a while since I posted. Tank is doing great. Had a dinos issue so took out the sandbed now everything is thriving!

Unfortunately we had a very bad red tide issue in our area and had to switch to synthetic sea salt. However, starting next week I will start introducing NSW slowly. Here are a few pictures:
