If anyone thinks of something else to check for, lemme know.

A photo log would be great.
Do a picture a day with the camera pointed at full tank and showing the bottom.
Best if it could stay there on a tripod so the pictures will be aligned perfectly.

There are lots of things to watch and I'm pretty sure you will do a good job but here are a few pointers.
The type of dinos, the amounts of cyanobacteria, algal growth, algae on the glass, short and long term effects, coral growth, fish breathing rate, water tranparency, skimming rate, etc.
