Hey guys! This thread is due for an update! I've had some ups and a lot more downs in the last 4 months. I lost a few colonies during the transfer, lots of fish not making though the qt process. I feel that things are doing great and stabilizing. Now on the hunt for corals to full this tank. Here's a quick vid of the fish feeding on nori.

Hey guys, just a quick update. The moorish unfortunately did not last past the 4 month mark despite having a good appetite. Really bummed about his lost.
On a brighter note, I did add a small purple tang, 3 barlett anthias, and a 8 line fairy wrasse last week.
I was getting a thick brown algae growth on my glass every couple of days that was a pain to clean. Turns out I wasn't changing my filter socks out often enough. Sometimes leaving in there for weeks at a time. So nitrate was through the roof. I have yanks it since, and the algae is gone away and the skimmer is skimming more efficiently. Will leave it off for the time being.
Haven't add any corals for a while but definitely feeling the itch. Looking to remove a few anenomes first!
Happy holidays all!
