Welcome to TRT! you have filters?That's part of your problem.Get rid of them,your Live Rock is your filter.What type of skimmer are you using?I would do a couple big Water Changes.

Assuming you moved the sand bed too that is the source of the nitrates...
If you have a skimmer crank it up if not do 20g WC every other day for a few days...
.
@80ppm the fish should be OK I would worry about the corals but being softies they will probally be ok. When I use to keep softies I found they perfered and thrived in water with nitrates on the 30-40 range

i have this one substance i add to my tank that prevents long term nitrate build up it is called super water conditioner
