So, a lot has happened in the passed month. I decided to add a 10 gallon sump because staring at all the stuff hanging on the back of the tank was really bothering me and an overall eyesore. I had moved the hob refugium to the bottom and changed the skimmer because the current one is a hob and wouldn't work with the sump due to lower water levels. Got a return pump that was over-sized because i want to upgrade tanks in the future and was easy to lower the return flow with an t-section with a ball valve that returns to the sump that way i can decrease the flow even more to the tank.

Now for the display, as you can see i changed up the scape of the tank because it the rock bridge made it look too bulky and didn't create the right flow that i wanted in the tank. So now is has become 2 separate rock clusters, the one on the left has all euphyllia up top and a blasto garden at the bottom and the right cluster has a bunch of caves and tunnels in ti for fish to swim throught and hide has a bunch of mixed sps, lps, and zoas up top and the has acans lined up all around the bottom

Then for the fish in the tank, the yellow watchman goby that i had started growing a hole in the side of him and eventually went all the way to its bone and passed away. And I had to get rid of the large Cardinal fish because he was bullying the other fish to much so they were always hiding. After that they are starting to be more active and all over the tank.
The fish in the tank now
1 Bangaii Cardinal
2 black ice clown
1 possum wrasse
1 mandarin
1 purple firefish
1 orange prawn goby
1 yasha goby
1 twinspot goby
1 fire red shrimp
1 pistol shrimp

I have added tons of corals since and cant remember the name of them all, it is defiantly a full tank of corals.
