Just so I have this right; you started the tank roughly 2 months ago, correct? Sorry if I got that wrong, but on that assumption herewith my opinions:
Even with live rock and starter, you have a few more months of noise and tank nasties before nearly any intervention you do is helpful. Ride it out. Keep to your regular maintenance schedule.
That said -- if you have not already done so -- get your test kits together. Some recs: Salifert: Ca and ALK. RED Sea: Nitrates (NO3). Hanna PO4 checker https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UNK3I8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Make sure your RO/DI is testing 0 TDS to keep the diagnostics simpler if nothing else.
If you have TEST numbers, then share asap along with system volume and some flow information. Be ready for a range of suggestions
IMO: Ride it out where you are; tolerate the uglies, they are building your ecosystem from scratch right now. Don't add more fish or corals until Thanksgiving and add slow or low bioload animals. There are going to be more swings. Green hair algae maybe next. Maybe you skip that and go to diatoms. Hopefully no dinos; they are depressing. If something is dead dying get it out. Start testing and logging. Keep it fun.
