You can "daisy chain" them together. I'd run the carbon first and the GFO second.

If you had a lot of evap then the SG will be through the roof. Id check that first. You'll need to get that back to normal, but do it slowly. If it went too high and killed everything, I'd just...

I'd get the plastic plants out of there. The coralline should come back if you keep up on your parameters. What's your mag level?

All depends on your definition. The dead rock will get seeded with bacteria in days but probably takes months to get a full compliment of bacteria. I added some base rock when I started and in...

Def. sounds like cyano. It comes in lots of forms and colors. Usually a deep purple/maroon or a glowing green color. Can also be yellow/brown and stringy. My guess is you have phosphates. Skip...

I'd get more rock, at least 1 lb/gallon. Or if you want to go cheaper, get some base rock like marcorocks. As far as CUC, I would get 10 astrea, 10 ceriths, 5-10 nassarius. I like hermits, so if...

Make sure you flip over the chaeto every few days. I also pull it apart when I do this. It seems to grow faster than when its in a tight clump.

You can add two part or if your demand is low enough, water changes will do the trick. You'll need to check your CA, alk and Magnesium levels to see if supplimentation is neccessary.

Your numbers aren't immediately dangerous. I'd bring up the calcium a bit, then the alk. Just don't dose them at the same time. You can add mag at the same time as the calcium.
