Thanks all for the advice, and sorry it took me so long to follow up. The Chemiclean worked great! And I want to give a HUGE shout out to Mike (mojoreef) who was kind enough to actually stop by my house and look over my tank and setup. It was very reassuring to have someone with his experience confirming what was correct with the tank, and what I needed to change. I'm already planning to stop by his store (Oceans by Design) to replace my sand and possibly pick up a few new corals.
This is a terrific success story example thanks to a strong reef community.
