@Bellebomb at the risk hearing “I told you so”, couple of quick thoughts. First, if you can drive screws (probably sheet metal screws or whatever works with metal studs) into the metal studs to secure the brackets or the brace that’s your best option. Guessing the studs are on 16” centers So you can probably find a few that will work for you. Second, I wouldn’t worry as much about the wall anchors. I’d worry more about the strength of the drywall. If the drywall is bulging I’m wondering how thick it is or how well it’s secured to the studs.Would it work without a support brace? They say they can hold 80lbs. He thinks it will be fine, but I’m a worst case scenario person, and worried the drywall is compromised because it’s bubbling.

Great move and well done. Definitely some DIY skills in your house!I ended up moving the aquarium down and finding three metal studs to work with.
just need to hang the light back up.

I have dosed a small amount of alkalinity. But recently switched salts and haven’t had to since. Also doing smaller water changes weekly rather than larger biweekly.Looking good. I’m looking forward to this beast packed with sps. What are you planning on using for alk and ca once you have a need to supplement? Don’t forget to dip and check corals for pest. I’ve been there done that.
