I checked the fan on the radion, it was working fine. So then I switched the power supplies and that's what appears to be the problem, another totally functional unit started blinking on and off when I connected it to the problem power supply. I'll call ecotech in the morning.
And yes, there were a few factors at play here. Throwing away 1500 dollars in dead coral is pretty devastating, especially when you know that others probably won't make it.
The only saving grace is that my fish are all OK. I've wanted a Copper Band butterfly for... lord, years? I finally start having success with one and this happens. I nearly had a heart attack. However, he/she has gained weight since I left, and my tuskfish seems to have stopped all forms of aggression towards it.
Now, if I can get through the next few days without a massive ammonia spike I'll be in the clear. Back to square one from a coral point of view, but most things with heartbeats seem ok (most of my snails got nuked).
