Whoa ... there's a lot to digest in this post.
You have a tank with a very high bioload with some of those critters. What do you do for nutrient export? What kind of skimmer do you have, if any? What are you using for making seawater, tap water or RO or RO/DI? If RO, how old is your membrane?
What are your lights? How old are your lights?
And ... uh ... BTA's don't need a lot of light, but, they need more than what 2 40w'ers can provide. I don't want to sound harsh, .. but ... this is not a recipe for success.
Let me know the answers to my questions and let's see what kind of long-term plan we can come up with here. We'll get through this, but be prepared you may need to change a thing or two ....
