I think patience will pay off with this, especially if pods are back. Maybe a small fish would help as those corals tend to like certain nutrients in their environment.

No I haven't done any parameter testing. As I assumed the problem was likely mostly chemical I figured a bunch of water changes would do the trick. My problem now, is with the reintroduction of the corals. Two days and they're back to square one, all pinchy faced and unhappy looking. And this is after at least 6 FULL waterchanges. I'm wondering if the rock is going to leach some sort of undesirables forever or what.
