Update on the leak.  I found it.  It was at the back right corner of the tank in the sump area.  I was able to remove the water from the sump area and still keep the water in the tank.  I then added some reef putty that you use to attach coral to rocks and put some flex tape on the outside of the where the leak was coming from.  I was able to keep the water moving and warm as I moved the heater from the sump to the tank.  After about 12 hours I filled up the sump again and no leak.  All corals survived and look to be in good shape.  The only loss I had was the firefish goby jumped out as I had the top off and did not see it till it was too late.  May Needles rest in peace.  It has been leak free since and happy to say I have some coralline algae growing.

6 month update. Just letting it grow at this point.

looking damn fine, particularly like the vertical use of the chamber wall for mounting. As a recent Evo tank owner, enjoyable seeing what others did with its space.

I was told that coral is a green heart mini flowerpot.  Very hearty, but wasn't doing too well in my tank.  Everything else seemed to be growing, but that one seemed to be retracting. It was a frag off a much larger piece form my LFS.  I then realized the light it received at the LFS was much less than what I was providing.  Once I moved it to that corner on that shelf it really started to open up more and in the last month has started to grow a bit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STQNZ5R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

that branching GSP tripled in size since the first pic of it, at least

 

Yes it grows like a weed.  I am thinking ill eventually need to frag it to keep it under control.  If anyone wants any, just let me know.
