Looks good, but just looking at how clean everything is and the lack of algae, your system is much too new to support an anemone and stoney corals.
You tank looks like it was setup a month or less and both those animals require stable, well established systems.

tank looks great. It says your tank is up and running for 9 months. How do you keep it so algae free?

May I ask why you bleached your LR? Just wondering.
bc i had completely took everything out to drill the closed loop holes... and hair algae was ridiculous.... needed a new start kinda... used same water, refug wasnt touched and 3 or 4 med to large size pieces of rock were not bleached... might not have been the best idea but its going good so far with everything going again.... only time will tell if it was a horrible decision....

May be the bleached rock is keeping good growth from happening?

So basically you killed off all the good bacteria and critters inside the live rock and used the same water....which is the cause of your hair algae problem to begin with. Unless you change your maintenance routine, your problems will be back.
Where's the anemone? I don't see it in the pic. What are you covering with the plastic bottle?

Love the first pic. Looks like your tank is doing good.
