do a few waterchanges. why are you adding chemiclean anyway?

I would do daily water changes until the nitrate level comes down. It wouldn't hurt to run carbon.

What kind of fish and corals did the tank have? Are the fish breathing rapidly?

If it ain't broke don't fix it? Water changes might be just enough.

A "sky high" nitrate level can burn a fishes respiratory system, causing chronic issues if it survives the initial insult.
