Your corals actually look ok. Overall any way.

The bubble has receded I belive? The acans too?

What light are you using , how far above the tank is it, what are the settings?

2 x Radion XR30W - 10" above water line. 59" tank - radions spread 28" on center. Lights on 10 hours - 6 1/2 hr at 80% - custom (see thumbnail)

PH 8.05
Temp: 77.8

Salinity 1.0245 - should I raise this slightly?

Bubble has receded, small hammer almost dead, also open brain receded. Acan stable - not growing, not receding. Polyps stable, no noticeable growth. Mushrooms/ leather all growing like crazy - and mushrooms propagating.

I would let the salinity rise naturally. Yes.

Let me dig into the par that light gives. But it should be fine.

It should be fine on the light I think.
Only real way to tell is with a par or Lux. meter. Lux is cheaper ($15)and requires a little math. From what I see you could actually go longer with the photo period.

But I don't see browsing or reaching in the zoas (not enough) nor bleaching in any of the corals(too much)
It kina points at flow , or a lack of stability ( changes too fast) or unfortunately corals that may not like the new tank things.
