Unfortunately it's not the case. Every single SPS RTN. Same goes for the LPS.How's the damage mate? hopefully everythings calmed down and realised its not all bad!
Oh fuck mate that's terrible news :(Unfortunately it's not the case. Every single SPS RTN. Same goes for the LPS.
Time to do a complete water change and spring clean I guess. Oh and restock the tank.

Was chatting to a LFS and they had a recent case similar to mine. Perhaps there could have been ammonia spike.God i just read your tank journal from the start, not a very happy ending. all that progress wiped from a bag of sand.
Sweet yeah that's what i was thinking were they the maxpect gyre or one of the other brands on gyre?Was chatting to a LFS and they had a recent case similar to mine. Perhaps there could have been ammonia spike.
I should have put it in a bucket and tested it.
To answer your pump question, I like the gyre but they are suited to a constant speed. I broke all the impellers by ramping up and down the speed. Hence changing to vortech.
Vortech are not without issue either, I come home to hear my brand new quiet drive making a noise at least once a week. I switch it off and reposition and it's good to go again.
Regarding flow I believe that you can get away with a little or a lot with SPS . It's unlikely that even 70 time is enough energy for the demand of SPS. I ran my gyres at 80 percent and the vortech on reef crest mode and I would still try to recreate more flow.
So moving on to the next tank journey.... might strike it up today
