I doubt its bad. Its probably just the paint and its been in the tank this whole time anyways without any adverse effects. If its coming loose on ur finger I'm sure some has rubbed off in the tank too. Doesn't sound troubling to me.

Reducing your tank to one power head should be fine. It will simulate a tide change. Just make sure that the other PH is hitting the top of the water for gas exchange.

Ahh, had that on my rio 90's, you can take them off and rinse them, they will be good as new. If they are not sucking to the tank anymore, clean the glass area where they stick and baddabing-baddaboom.

btw, didn't do squat to my reef, so I say it's safe.
