It's hard for me to tell what's going on in those pics but you have a ton of coralline so your tank should be ready for SPS if you have the required par.

Turn the lights way down to try and not shock the sps . Par is between 2 and 500

Set up looks dandy to me. Are you testing your water? ALK, Ca, NO3, PO4?

Load up on some peppermint shrimp for the aiptasia. If they don't solve it, then a Kleins Butterfly will once he has eaten your zoanthids.

Kleins will nip at acro polyps, so you get no polyp extension.

How long till you could sustain sps
I put them in a couple days after I filled it and kept on trucking! I did have about 80 pounds of rock from an established tank to start my new up thou.

A trident would be your best friend if you have a apex controller.. I hate testing so I broke down and got a controller and trident and wow! I don’t do anything but replace reagents once a month or so.
