What you have established in 3 months is in good health.

Do not add the free fish into your tank and risk causing an outbreak of stress, or fighting for territory, and common disease and pests that could be dormant in your tank or in the free livestock. Keep those in a 5 gallon bucket and donate them to the LFS. You have to nice of an existing tank to risk over crowding and disease issues trying to save 3 may easily kill them all.
Solid advise.

Tank looks very clean! The cleaner wrasse is my main concern as they need to constantly be eating. Not sure if they eat frozen food but I would not want it to starve. I have a pair of black storms and they're great.

300$ including live rock and a bunch of waste away and copper, he threw in a heater aswell
good deal, my prime was around $300 so for all that gear, you can set up 2-3 more tanks
