Thanks Awi!
With a 24" KentMarine scraper and some patience. The idea that "I'm going to break something while cleaning the glass" does help (lol).

Yogi, Fu-Manchu,Thanks guys :cheers:!

Just a little update, and a personal log that I'm trying to keep on here, I found bite marks on the validia (1" bite area, no eggs)+purplenana (1/2" bite area, no eggs)+redplanet (3" bite area, lots of eggs)+redisheflo (1/2" bite area, no eggs). I stoped the turkey basting method of blowing off AEFW's from Acro's. And now only doing Coral RX dips, cuting off of dead areas, and removing eggs. I feel as if the basting was only spreading them around the tank. Physical inspections and dips seem to keep their numbers lower than with the basting and hoping the wrasses eat them.
As for the red bugs, coral still not fully recovered from the damaged done. But they do look better.

Got around to doing some water testing yesterday and here's what I came up with.
ALK - 8
CAL - 430
MAG - 1440
NO3 - 2
PO4 - 0.03
Also, tomorrow is when I do the third dose of the red bug treatment. And then next week, I will follow up with another dose for four treatments in total. I know that I'm due for a one year tank update. Just need to get done with these treatments and clean things up a bit, then I'll get right on it.
