Thanks for the salinity numbers. I'm heading to my LFS at lunch to see if they have a refractometer in stock. If not, I'll get what they have available and then I'll order one off Amazon.
Water clearing up and was a little more clearer this morning. Got some buckets of RODI water last night, so I'll mix some salt in them and do a water change tonight with a vacuum of the crub that settled on the sand and rocks. Put some flake food in the tank last night and now all the fish are more active. The Wrasse came out from hiding in the sand and the Firefish are more active too. Seems like more rock is needed? Right now the backside is open and the fish can swim around all sides of the rock. This "rockscaping" is tougher than I expected it to be, but maybe that's the perfectionist in me coming out.
On duration of lighting. I have my timer set for 2 hours in the morning (6AM to 8AM) and then 5 hours in the evening (5PM to 9PM). Is 7 hours enough?
What is the names of the 2 corals at the top of the rock in the middle? One in the middle and one to the right. If they are not corals, please let me know. Trying to understand whats corals, sponges, etc.
Picture I took last night:

Nice tank, btw, and I agree with ericarenee you don't have to have a refractometer but marinedepot.com is still your friend..
