One month update,
Some of the corals are pale and brown, don't know if a light issue or the introduction of zeolite, hopefully they get better soon, looks promising as there is still a lot of PE especially at night time.
A lots of coraline algae is growing in the bottom panel...
I'm just mad that some of the corals did loose a bit of Colors but this appended to me also before when had to move last year , so pretty confident that should be ok. If any have some suggestion be appreciate.
Also I realize after adding the zeolite ,potassium and strontium dropped, using the neo zeo and started with less dosage then they recommended.
Parameter ATM are
Sal 1.025
Temp 78-79
Ph 8.22 drop at night
Alk 7
Cal 415
No3 0
Phos 0
All salifert kit
Have to retest potassium and strontium as the last 2-3 days they were low.

August update
It's been a busy month, but in the last few weeks the corals start to look great again, after they went pale and some browned a bit have to say I was getting worried.
Realize that strontium and potassium were super low so I decided to dose them with a doser and since then the sps started to colour up again....finally most of them started to grow again and I'm really surprise that all of them survived the tank move.
My 6 line wrasse decided to jump in the overflow (not the first time) but this time didn't make it. So I decided to add a couple of fairy wrasses to the tank( was not able to do that before because the 6 line was just going to chaise them to death). J&l had a nice pair (male /female) tonu wrasses so could not resist(pics below).with the wrasses purchase I also brought the IM aquarium mesh,just not want to risk the wrasses to jump the tank, but have to say that since I got them(about 3-4 weeks ago) they are doing really good.
One thing that always wanted to know, was the PAR , so thanks to Jeff and the crew @ j&l aquatics, I was able to measure it, they landed me a PAR meter. I think that knowing the PAR of your tank really help you understand where the coral can do good especially SPS.
Coralline it's still growing strong lol

Quick update..
I finally move all the Zoas out of the tank, also sold a few piece attached to the tonga branches to make some room.
Switched from dosing brightwell mb7 and biofuel to aquaforest pro bio s and np pro. This was a great move for me as with the brightwell stuff was making a film on my glass and I had to clean it everyday, now with the aquaforest I probably have to do it once a week. Also switched salt to the aquaforest probiotic.
Corals show a good growth at the moment but have a break out of asterina starfish, I do not mind them at the moment as they are doing I great job with the coralline.
I also added an extra MP40 , I don't really think was need it yet but is never to much flow lol...
I just ordered some magnetic rock shelves from reef supplies , as wanted to create some dept on the back pane, I will send some pics when they arrive...
