Doesnt look to bad yet and I really like your rock work.

I'm a big fan of letting things naturally correct themselves. But there are those that swear by vibrant and other chemical methods.

If you can get the rocks out you can pressure wash them or scrub them clean and that won't hurt the beneficial bacteria at all.

You just need some acanthophyllias and trachy brains to spice it up.

I never use chemical befor and vibrant will kill cheato and unbalance the reef im gessing thats why im pretty not sure to do it. And all is epoxy and is to heavy to scrub it out, still can scrubber in whit a Stainless steel brush mabe?

There are various grades of stainless but I think the general consensus was items like brushes were a no go in the tank.
