Judging by your history, your tank's appearance and the fact that you're using a canister filter, I think it'll be very very wise to check your parameters again.
Could be polyp bailout, which only happens when you really piss them off, might wanna up the water changes and reduce feeding/photoperiod.
Also clean the canister, it's a nitrate factory. Best if you replace it imo.

Can, but if you have corals, it'll be better to funnel the sand directly to the bottom of the tank via a hose. Most corals don't like sand in their fleshy parts.
Also be ready for a mini cycle/diatom bloom, since you using live sand cfm got some dying microbes

For me i just crank up the UV, Violet, Royal Blue and Blue up to max lol, then add white to my liking, works well for me. Green and Red not important, may cause algae growth too. If you want to be more specific, i can help you out with my PAR meter, just shoot me a PM

[New Reefer] Cycling new tank

Ph is fine for now, it gets important once you put corals and lifestock in.
You can try to increase the amount of food and add more bacteria (it's ok to overdose most bacteria product, just don't over do it lol)
But really you just have to wait it out. Patience bro.
Despite what people say, nitrate is not that big of an issue
If anything it's bad if your tank is too clean, a bit of nitrate is what your coral needs for food.
What you really want to keep close to zero is phosphate/silicate. Use Granular Ferric Oxide (GFO) to keep the levels low.
Try to avoid any aluminium based phosphate removers, they have a whitish appearance.
As for cheato, in my opinion, not necessary for a tank that size.
If you really want you can try macroalgae of the genus caulerpa. Those imo are more effective them cheato and can grow in your display, but depends on your aesthetic.
