The Calypso, (Red Sea 350G2), build!

[reelsilly]

Decided to pull the trigger on a brand new system, and a brand I’ve never had before. I went with the Red Sea 350 Max G2+. It is being delivered today so pics will soon follow.

It’s here, so now we get muscle this thing in. Equipment photo soon. My helper is not in the mood apparently so this may take a while lol

 

[reelsilly]

Everything is inside, now the fun begins. Here’s the equipment I will be running

I ordered the same package and it was delivered today as well! I was able to assemble the stand tonight.

Interested in seeing how your setup progresses.

 

[reelsilly]

Made a little progress today. Next is adding the sliding door then installing equipment.

 

[reelsilly]

Well, I’m in a holding pattern as I’ve been dealing with Red Sea for a week now. Tank had an issue with the front seam and they’re sending a new one. As soon as the new one gets here, updates will continue

While I’m waiting for the replacement tank to come in. I’m starting my cable management now.

Very nice setup!

Very nice setup!

Thank you.

 

[reelsilly]

Replacement tank arrived now to make a little progress. Focusing a lot on cable management since there’s so many pieces of equipment with this thing.

 

[reelsilly]

Aquascape is coming along.

 

[reelsilly]

Still playing around with rock work and got control panel set. Now it’s time to run cables.

 

[reelsilly]

Finally got cable management completed. Built a small riser in the equipment side of the stand to hide all the power blocks. I was worried about heat so I purchased a small fan and mounted it to blow air over the power blocks. Everything is pretty much tidied up and water is next. Once I add water, I will get all the other equipment set up on reef beat and get the ATO ran.

Finally got water in and cycling several days ago, rock work is complete and found another stand to house my top off reservoir. Pics coming soon

Best of luck to the cycle!
