Update.
Looks like the filefish finally came thru. I can only see about 2 or 3 aiptasia he has not eaten. He pretty much cleaned up the tank. So far he has not gone for any corals. Hopefully he won't any time soon either.

Did a good cleaning on the tank just for fun today. Scraped all coralline off the back glass and on the outside of the overflow. Gave vinegar baths to all pumps and power heads.
And pretty much trimmed off the Kenya tree. I'm starting to hate that dang coral. It just wont die!!

Tank is back up.
Tanked leaked while I was out of town after a crappy bottom reseal job and I lost everything in there. I let the rock dry up outside. I scrubbed it down and let it fully dry for about a month. I rinsed with RO water and rock went into a tub with saltwater and chaeto. I only kept up with topping off. I didn't really maintain parameters or checked them for over a year. Back in May this year I thought of selling it off. I started testing and I had no ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, or PO4. Salinity was at 1.027 (a bit high for my liking). I lowered it to 1.025 and began getting the tank ready again. This time I fully resealed it. I leak tested and let the tank sit for about a week with water to ensure it would hold. I set up the tank and had a very minor ammonia spike the day after. It quickly receded. I didn't have much of a cycle due to the established live rock. It is now running and has been for about a month. Day after setup About 5 days ago. Diatom bloom. I'm assuming its the water source. Going to have to change that up or get an RO/DI
