The biggest problem is the BA spores. They are on everything and you don't have much choice other than a complete tear down. I'm assuming you have the same sheeting bubble algae as I do. I removed all my corals to another tank after heavy dipping in peroxide. The rock has plans for an acid bath. The spores also can travel through the fish, so it's a good idea to put them in a quarantine tank for a few days until they poop several times. It would also be a good idea to treat that tank with vibrant or Fluconazole. I'm not sure if UV can kill that particular spore.

I pretty much threw my hands into the air and gave up. Gives me a chance to upgrade anyways.

Good luck.
