I would do what wardog said. It'll only cost you $11 for a bottle of muriatic acid and you can start your tank from scratch with no aptasia. I wouldn't want to go through all the hassle of moving the tank and still having to deal with algae and aptasia.

It's also looking like the first location of the tank will be temporary until we redo the floors upstairs

You have 2 choices really.
1) Move to your new place and do nothing. Reuse substrate and rescape existing algae/aiptasia rock. During which, praying that your old substrate doesn't cause a tank crash. 2) Move into new place, setting up a holding tank for your limited livestock. Finish floors upstairs, at which time you can be bathing and cleaning infested rock. Bleach/acid/baking soda $30. Set up tank in final location and add $100 of lovely, new, clean substrate. Cycle tank then reintroduce livestock. Personally I would choose option 2, for peace of mind. I understand owning a house makes one broke... but so does our addiction.

Ok so I will cook the rock and do a new sand bed and start over. You think a yellow tang will be fine in a 29 gallon till I get the tank going again? I'm sure it's not ideal but it's what I got. Unless I use an old sump that I have which I think is bigger just don't have a stand for it. Breaking the tank down will take a lot of the moving stress down.

I have a 110 g "pond" (Tuff Totes black container) that you are welcome to borrow as well as a 30" cube that I am currently storing at my parents' home in SE Vancouver. Let me know if these would work better for you and I can arrange something.
