Iphone hates Mitras. :(

fine with me :) I hate iphones ;)

(Don't you mean iHate iPhones?)

What size is the tank with 4?

96" but 3 would have been enough the spread is proven by Dr Sanjay Joshi independent lab test at 36 x36

We use 6 Mitras over each of our 96" x 48" tanks and the light spread is perfect!

if it was not for the 48" wide you could of got away with the 3 also, but shows 3 for the 96" length is perfect for sure.

What height does that tank (the one I asked about with the 4) have the units above the waterline?

I never thought I'd say this with a straight face but ... I like his rack.

Also, what on earth is the UFO shaped thing on the bracing?

the units are about 12" above water line

no idea on UFO ;)

Thanks Aaron for these amazing photos of his Mitras illuminated tank

5 months old. 4 months under the Mitras.

ProfiLux Control 6 is completely renewed with the Light Composer from GHL Control Center.

You will be able to load Mitras *.lpc files in the new version of ProfiLux Control and easily set up the Illumination with ProfiLux Control.

The ProfiLux Computer will work as master and control all your Mitras lamps (they should be set to slave mode).

The thunderstorm synchronisation between ProfiLux and Mitras is also implemented.

Each Illumination channel can be separately controlled and set up directly from ProfiLux Control.

You can also use our smartphone apps to manually control the brightness of each channel.

New versions of profilux control, profilux and mitras firmware will be available to download within a shortly at www.aquariumcomputer.com

What % do you have your red and green at
 

i dont have mitras, and more a diy set up, however want to add green and red led

So now i can putlets say 10 red and 10 green and have them blasting 50% or 5 red and 5 green at 100%

So if you would have them at 50% and you have ..... Number per unit, it gives me some insight in how many i would use at 100%

Reason for this is becouse i have all my dimming drivers in use, and have a few CC drivers left

Hi
You can set the mitras LED channels to anything you wish if you only wish to run reds and greens then this is fine just set the rest of the channels to 0% you can then adjust the red and green channels to any % intensity you wish.

I do understand that each channel can go from 0 to 100

Question is, what douse men have the red and green at,

I know this is preference, however if the average has them at 20%and there would be 7 above a tank, than in my case it would be the same as 1 at 100% (+- whatever my preference is.

Same is if in general thy have them at 50% than i would have some indication that maybe I should use 3 at 100% for each 6 at 50% on he mitras.

Sorry, the factory build units are out of my budget, and i already have a 200+ led rig, that I want to adjust a bit in to a full spectrum Unit

does anyome have some other specrturms that I can try say like the 8-10-12K range.. that is already done with a nice night time illumation
i thought that if I go that route i could raise my light a bit. for more of the spread.

Looks lime Elf on the shelf has gone fishing of the Mitras this Xmas!

But wait, looks like Elfie is into a whopper!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...71925598_o.jpg

Crazy elf!

And here I thought he was reeling in some massive savings for the canadian user base.

He probally actually caught the order sheet I am sending in shortly, piles of food controller and ballin salts for me...

Soon I will have wireless control of the mitras.

Anyone else want to share there light profiles ?' I am using submans right now.

I am using Australian reefer Rodnyei's project. But he went back to T5's so I don't know if that's a good thing :)

Great idea Michael my kids are going to love this.

I dunno - it's 550 in the morn and first thing I see is this elf with a woodie sitting on on light fixture

Has anyone has problems with the Mitras "pulsing" constantly throughout the day? In about 10-20 second intervals, the light has been continuously ramping up and down for the last week. I have checked through the software and I don't think there is any problem there. At first I thought it was a bad cloud setting or something, but I have turned cloudy days off now.

I've never had that happening before... I would check with Michael at AD and see if there are any similar issues at the GHL forum.

I figured it out! But thanks for the help. I just gave in a reset the factory defaults and then manually re-did my light schedule. Still not sure what the problem was.

Aside from that minor issue, awesome light so far :)

Can a 6200 play well with 6100?s

On a tank 82" x 30" I'm going to mount three lights. I see lots of people mounting the lights perpendicular to the tank, I was thinking I'd mount them length wise with the tank???

Which way should I mount them?

They can go together but it's better to not have them as master/slave but rather each their own because the channels aren't all the same. I have one 6200 that is master and 2 6100's and I'll be switching the pucks over to 6100. The effect is most noticeable during dusk and dawn that the colours aren't the same. High noon daytime you can't really tell.

I went perpendicular over 72" with 3 units but at 82" length and 3 I would be tempted to try parallel.

Thanks Tony. Anyone else have feed back?

Cost of converting a 6100 to a 6200?

This big bear has a big boy LX 6200HV now over my cube that is hooked into my 300. If the cost wasn't so much I would put 4 over the 300 as well, maybe in time I will save up and buy one at a time.

Now that being said if anyone has a good lighting project they would like to share with me to try out please send to grizzwelding@platinum.ca

Thanks in advance.

I did a thread on this

Does anyone have success keeping SPS well coloured under their GHL 6200 Mitras?

I have been struggling with coloration ever since I set them up 5 months ago.

I finally got my hands on a PAR meter today and I think I found my issue. I am getting just under 200 PAR at 8" bellow the surface. We all know that is not enough intensity for SPS.

I am currently using the following settings:

100% High Output mode.

60% Blue
100% Royal Blue
100% Blue white
0% Cool White
30% Natural White
30% Sky White
50% Red
0% Green
100% UV

I can achieve more PAR from these lights but then the color temp looks too yellow. We decided to take them down. We will be experimenting with different types of metal halide fixtures for our SPS system.

I also am having trouble keeping my Sps colourful, tested par and mine is really low yet I have to keep scolys and clams in the shade as they bleach if I don't. I was told that par meters are very accurate with led as they cannot read certain spectrums. I notice top down my colours are starting to come in but from the front and sides it's brown blobs.
