My first saltwater tank

So I have 7 freshwater fish tanks and was able to obtain a 90 gallon drilled tank for 100 bucks with the stand. I bought an eshopp sump and pond pump. Had to get new bulk heads and do new plumbing. I'm a faithful amazon shopper and I bought 2 philezon 165 w light. (Pic attached) I bought 4lbs of live rock and power jets. I bought my water from colligan a local water selling company.I let the tank sit for month and did a chemical start with the tank. I then added 2 clown fish (nemo). Since then I have added several crabs and a few snails. I know I have to add more snails soon. I then got a domino damsel, sand sifting star fish, I have a blue and yellow damsel, 2 purple and orange damsel, 2 scallops and a Tomotomi Tang. I also have a rock flower anemone and and purple atlantic one. I did a bunch of research and red a ton and added some corals. Most are polyps. I also have a red tree gorgonian and a few others I dont remember there names. I then decided to do a frag tank to grow corals in. I ended buying a bigger fresh water tank and ended up with a 55 gallon frag tank. I built my own sump that si a 36 gallon sump. When I built the sump I was going to do a small frag tank in the sump but then added a complete new tank. I still have to get a protien skimmer for this while set up. I then set up the 55 gallon frag tank and added 2 maroon clowns. One fought till death and killed the other one. So I am only keeping one and have the tank sectioned off. I am adding a puffer fish the the one half that doesnt have any frags in it. I bought some used T5 lights from one of my lfs that went to led. I have included pictures of my set up. I have both tanks plumbed into the same sump.

So this week I have put in some more fish. This includes a dwarf angel in the main display and a strawberry dottyback or something. My kids picked it out. I also had an issue in my 2and tank with matrons fighting to death a few weeks back so I got my Valentini puffer. I added a lawn mower blennie in that tank also. Tested the water and all my test came back normal.. if I get time today I'm going to move all my small frags into the frag section of the tank to let them be so they dont keep getting knocked over and let them start growing too.

Well alot has been going on I ended up losing the valentini puffer fish. I'm currently moving so ended up buying a 150 gallon tank instead of running 2 tanks a 90 and 55. Have a smaller house to just ended up doing one big one. I have added a urchin and a weird shrimp. But everything is alive from the move and doing great. I gave my mated pair of clowns to my daughter. And have one marron clown. My local lfs has a mated pair of maroons I'm going to turn in the single and get the mated pair. This is what my tank looks like below.
