I made a rack out of aluminium L brackets. Because I didn't want to drill any more holes in the ceiling. It also gave me options to add and move fixtures as needed.

Here is a link to my Mitra profile if anyone want to give it a shot

How high are people running their red channels out of curiosity?

buy one and figure it out slow running guy :mrgreen:

i'm running one mr speedy =)

just wondering if there are levels to stay below to slow the algae. obviously i'm aware nutrients fuel its growth but maybe i can help the situation by lowering my reds.

he's had a Mitras for months now. Keep up will ya!

ya ya ya ya ya

I am running a 13k program at 40% brightness the tank is currently just LPS but will raise to 60% max shortly.

Both my red channels run at around 30% most of the day. They peak first for a red-ish morning then maintain intensity until later at night.

I haven't even upgraded in that time. Where has the guy BEEN?

Mac question, it can run with VM, safe to assume there are also people running Parallels?

Yep, I run control centre in Parallels.

Cool, thanks, is it pretty straight forward? I don't have any experience running Parallels.

Parallels is extremely easy to install. You need a copy of windows to load onto it though. Then once you have installed windows, you install Control Centre, upload the newest drivers and away you go. I haven't messed with Control Centre too much. I have a light profile I am going to load up from a fellow from Australia. He has an amazing tank and has worked with the Mitras quite a bit.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks!

Ok, so I’ve been running this beast of a light for almost a month now. It’s time to give my thoughts on it, for those who are interested in the lighting unit. I’ve been posting bits and pieces as I’ve gone along but I'll bring it all together into one place.

First Impressions of the light unit were very good, well crafted, sleek and it looked the business. Build quality is top notch, same as with any other GHL product I own. The sunglasses you get with them are a nice touch; I may even use them this summer.

When I turned them on, the first thing that jumped out at me was the spread from the unit; I had dark areas from the previous lighting being used but not anymore. The unit is hung at exactly the same height as it’s at the very top of my hanging bracket. With the spread being so good, I reckon one unit could easily do 3 foot long and 2 foot wide. I run mine currently at 70% peak 10 inches from the waters surface. So raising them further and increasing the intensity would improve the spread no doubt.

The initial set up for me had some issues, this was surrounding using VMware as a virtual machine, I couldn’t get drivers to install and I managed to resolve it using Bootcamp in the end. Programming the lights was pretty simple, having used the illumination program in the Profilux before there are some similarities in the software. This made life easier for me. Something I really like is when you have created a custom Kelvin, this can be saved and applied all across the lighting run quickly and easily. The colour rendition is fantastic, lots of flexibility to cater for different tastes, the hyper violet LED’s make the colours of the corals really pop. The software makes it very easy to make tweaks to your lighting schedule, I haven't explored all features of the software yet as I've been happy with my current settings. They seem to be working for me so in reluctant to change anything.

Performance wise, the original corals I had prior to the swap over are now showing good colouration, except one, which was like this prior to the change over. It's a green Digi, which refuses to colour up for some reason. I've noticed in the last week some corals starting to base out and signs of growth in the tips of others. My red Goniopora has now made a full recovery; I was on the verge of binning it at one point when I got it back from the shop. The fans are very quiet whilst the unit is running, unless I put my ear to the unit I cannot hear them when they are working at 80%ish.

The simulation is pretty cool, I was a fan of rolling cloud cover in the Profilux so I was glad to see it incorporated in the Mitras. I should imagine over a longer tank the rolling cloud cover would look even better, starting from one end and moving across the tank.

I updated the firmware last night for the first time, it was very easy and a simple process from start to finish. It went through without any hiccups so I'm now on 1.13. The Control Centre software tells you when an update is available when the lights are connected which is a nice touch.

What I don't like about the lights - there's not a lot really, being a snobby Mac user and having no software for OS X available is my only dislike. That's my own choice of OS and it's not a deal breaker though. I have no issues or concerns with how the light performs, from what I've seen in the last week it certainly grows corals and I'm pleased with the results as I've always struggled with SPS corals in the past. I would like to see connectivity with the Profilux, I believe this is in the pipeline.

It's the same with using the Profilux, there's a slight annoyance in having to use Windows but it's something I can live with.

I would really like to see some Mac support though at some point.

Just picked mine up yesterday :)

I wish I was in the club. I don't really like my Vertex Illumina!

I can't wait to get my three mounted! :)

Good time to join right now while the discount lasts see my post on our forum

the deal has expired two days ago.

Anybody know where I could order one of the GHL Mitras if I wanted one?

I think there are only few dealers in GVRD, and doubt any of them has it in stock.

Wais aquarium and also Concepts, red corals have them in stock all the time, they are in Alberta. So do Dereks Reef shop and Bayside corals

Many dealers do not stock very high end goods opting more to buy to order which is no problem as we always have plentiful supply. So to be honest other than the one mentioned you can choose any dealer you like just ask them to contact us so we can open an account for them to purchase for you.

well im going to ramp mine up after the temp tank is up til I move what a site for sore eyes this light hanger I made lol any ways I would like to get the latest firmware for the light Mike where do I go to get it.

www.aquariumcomputer.com the firmware is embedded in the software so once you install the software then click on firmware update and follow the very important instructions.

ok I have the light going AND now I got the program center installed. and it wont connect. I do have windows 8 on my lap top too.

I use XP on my Mac to connect to the light. It needed to installed some sort of driver.

windows 8 is a pain you have to first deselect driver signature in security and then install a different driver.

if you need 2nd level support please create an account at www.profiluxsupport.com and GHL will direct you to the drivers as I dont have them

First make sure you have set the com port of course

Install software without lamp connected, then connect lamp and wait a few minutes

click connect, if it says cant connect then follow the dialogue box to go to device manager and make sure the driver is present, if so note the com port and then enter that into the software.

More help? sign up to the forum for correct support. thanks

To get started:
1.From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
2.Click ‘More PC Settings’.
3.Click ‘General’.
4.Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
5.Wait a bit.
6.Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
7.Click ‘Advanced Options’
8.Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
9.Click Restart.
When your computer restarts, select ‘Disable driver signature enforcement‘ from the list. You can now load your modified driver. Reboot again once the driver is installed and all will be well
