War on Xenia: The nuclear option

[i8beef]

I have a 125 gallon that is infested. It's a wall of pink. And yesterday it ****ed off my RBT finally. So one of two things is happening: I'm taking the whole thing down and starting over with new rock, or I am nuking the tank.

Does anyone have experience with Fluke tablets for this? I hear it will destroy the Xenia, I'm just concerned about a few things:

1. I've seen a couple of people saying that once you do it, you can never keep certain corals again in that tank. Any truth to that?
2. I love zooanthids. I want my Xenia issue, but with Zooanthids. Would they be affected by this approach?
3. Are mushrooms / hairy mushrooms / Ricordia affected?
4. I have one surviving SPS that I'd rather not kill, but at this point I'm with collateral damage.
5. Any fish species I should not do this with? I have clowns, yellow and hippo tangs, a heniochous butterfly, a mandarin, a flame angel and some chromis.
6. What about my RBT?
7. How long should I remove all crabs and snails? Are star fish affected?

What approach would you take in this? At this point I just want to watch all that Xenia die a terrible horrible death.

Just get your water crazy lean and it will all die it's only thriving cause u have dirty water

I've destroyed it by covering with a rock so that it was stuck iin the shade. I don't guess you can keep the lights off for awhile? Or just cover the Xenia and nothing else?

What you do is try and grow the xenia, then it will die off. The problem is you don't want it.

I bought a matted filefish and it annihilated them.
