Wait, you PAID for the piece of ****?!? I thought he just gave it to you. What a jerk!
(I kid I kid)
But seriously, you did him a favor. Save him from himself.

Been a while but man this tank has come a long way. Recently upgraded the sump and added an extra overflow to increase return rate as I definitely maxed out the 40 breeders filtration capacity with a 150 full of nems. Everything is doing really well and some basic maintenance every 2 weeks is serving the tank well which I’m super into and I’m beginning to see the benefits of a softy tank since if phosphates hit .25+ it’s sort of whatever and you can bring them down at your leisure.

Current parameters
Salinity 1.027
Alk 10
Calcium 450
Magnesium 1325
Nitrate 25
Phosphate.25

Wow, very nice. Are they the same rainbow nem type or different types? Do you put any clownfish in there?
There’s 3 different types and currently a harem of 10 clowns all kicking it fairly well for a while now.
