Also, I did document the entire thing for my youtube channel, if anyone is interested. Corals went back in my main today and so far, we continue to have good luck!

WOW! Your situation has really opened my eyes to the emergency situation of a hurricane with a tank and how to handle it. We plan to have a whole-house generator before we go to saltwater but even then sometimes choices have to be made as to who/what gets to use the power and for how long. Thank you for posting all this, especially the Youtube video.
On the cycling tank, it is 100% better to fully clean the tank to arrest the cycle and restore health vs dosing anything, including bac
Especially if there's a sandbed, that needs full cleaning the most. The rocks need dislodged of waste, clean saltwater in a bucket/swish them in it
extended periods of stress result in accumulation and clogging of pores on live rock that do filtration and help with gas exchange, to clean is literally tank cpr its so neat.
thats actually the ideal prep as well...the clean condition is less o2 command during power outages, and its also easier after the stress event since less systemic bacteria are competing for resources. here is a giant page on making tanks 2 gals-200 gallons instantly clean without loss. what we do for home moves, tank upgrades, cyano cures, or just ran on a great working tank as age resetting/prevention is all the exact same move.

If you are reading this thread to cure a tank invasion from a link I sent you, we do not need to identify your type of invasion here we do not need you to test anything at anytime regarding nitrate, phosphate etc Above all, we do not need to see a microscope slide picture of your invasion at...www.reef2reef.com
additional irony: taking your tank apart has no room for customization. repeat what works only from the work, thorough rinsing etc
