New here, First post, New tanks!

[MeatMountain]

Hey! Im just getting back in to the saltwater after a 10+ year break and attempting 2 reefs for the first time!


I bought a used 150 gallon setup with tank, stand, sand, sump and pump then I built a hood that goes to the ceiling for a "wall" look.

I also bought a 29 gallon biocube around the same time for a phantom clown-fish pair/mini reef.

I had a temp spike 83-85 about 10 days ago and I think my encrusting gorgonia is dead. What do you all think?

If the encrusting coral isn't completely white, it may recover

Welcome to R2R :) Thanks for joining us!

As Crabs stated, if there is a polyp or 2 hanging on, it may have a chance to bounce back.

It is still pretty pink but all of the "pores" are white and I haven't seen any activity for a while. I hope its ok, it was my biggest coral!
