Looks good. Have you considered re-aiming the power head in the top left to get a bit more flow across the front of your tank to try and help with some of the cyanobacteria?

That's just starting out?!?! That's jumping into the deep end :) Awesome rock structures! Agree with @andrewey on the water movement to combat cyano.

Welcome! More flow will certainly help with the cyano

I’m a fat guy so feed my fish fat style...... which I know is bad...... I usually don’t have the cyano though....I had to switch up my coral food and I think I added too much ...

Although I’m. It too sure about the lighting..... T5 but the fish store I deal with said it’s all cool....

No worries! Cyano is also pretty common in new setups, so you can make simple corrective changes, but part of it will always be your tank maturing and you dialing in your feeding/nutrient export :)

Assuming the T5 are properly sized and the bulbs aren't too old, they will grow anything and everything :) I would look at photoperiod as opposed to the type of light/fixture (in this case) to make sure that's in line with your goals.
