One year in, tank is looking nice I think. Still battle algea, about to start dosing.

Well it looks great to me, and I tell you what, green star poly is one of my favourite corals, and yours looks stunning!

And the Yellow Tang looks great (another favourite!)
 
There are a fair number of positives.

One, the algae issues are not that bad. You can probably solve them by increasing nutrient export: skimmer, refugium with macro algae, reducing nutrient imports or increasing grazers. I would suggest monitoring nitrate and phosphate levels.

Two, your fish look healthy and that is an accomplishment.

And three, you have a variety of healthy looking corals.

I would say that you have accomplished quite a bit in a year.
 
Thanks for all the kind words, but why I have everyones attention. My bta only opens like this during peak hours. During the evening hours it curls up inside itself. Also if you see by my green star polyps there are small little anemones and they are spreading through my tank like wildfire any ideas how to get rid of them.

The nem is just fine doing that in the evening.

Most do. And sometimes they don’t! They do whatever and yours looks great.

Can you get a closer pic of one of the little nems by your gsp and maybe a bit more whites than blues.

Looks like you're doing a great job to me. Keep it up! Nice size zoa colony there on the right, and I agree with @SPR1968, those GSP look beautiful.
Yeah I zoa was on the live rock I bought, a year later. But I am getting rid of it soon no color and is spreading to fast.
