That is a clean and shiny sump you have there!

I don't know how to convert mS to SG for salinity..but your other parameters look good for livestock. I don't think low dKH (not saying you have low levels) would impact zoas at all.

I do like the brine shrimp idea though.

Have you started to see the brown bloom yet? Add some crab and/or snails see how they do

In Calgary the crabs or snails can be just as expensive as fish Even the tiny blue legged crabs are going for around $7 ea. I haven't had any algae blooming. The coraline seems like it is growing though

It's basically a hair shy of 1.026. I am planning to add a tiny bit of salt but I wanted to see if more leeched out of the LR I bought from Pieces. I might leave it be too because I am planning a partial w.c. this weekend.

Well I'll see how the zoas do before I go too crazy. Might also get a couple blue chromis or possibly damsels to see if I can get a little ammonia. Just want to make sure the tank cycle is established before I invest too much in coral.
