GHL Mitras Club - Page 40

AQD_ottawa · 09/21/2013, 11:58 AM

Glad to see this has been seen by yet another independent eye. I can talk all I want about this point but its way more important when totally unbiased end users find it.

The clue in the technical reason for this is reflectors the GHL use (not optics) these took two years of development alone in conjunction with a lighting research lab in Germany.

One very respected source told me personally that they saw the Mitras as the only lamp they had used which did exactly what an LED should do.

thanks for this really important feedback guys.

My new Clam pops nicely under the Mitras.

wow!!!!

Same word I used when I loaded the images into Lightroom. Really does sparkle.

Does anyone have lighting programs for the LX 6200 HV? might be easier to load a program already done instead of taking the chance on stressing my clams and corals.

GHL has done it again!! second year in a row!

GHL wins the coveted Innovation award from the German ministry! Talk about technical excellence!

I've asked around and gotten about 15 different answers, so I figured I would ask here and get another 10

I run my Mitras over a 60 gallon 2x2x2 cube. I'm trying to settle on an intensity. It is 12" off the water and I am currently running it in 'High Output' mode at %75 using Rodney's profile offset 2 hours later so I can view it better at night. Am I in the ballpark? Am I too hot? I am running a mixed reef. SPS at the top and Zoas and Acans on the bottom.

Thoughts? I really appreciate the help!

AQD_ottawa · 09/23/2013, 04:57 PM

everything fine but change to high efficiency, you really dont need high intensity.

High Efficiency at %75 or should I bump it up?

Don

AQD_ottawa · 09/23/2013, 05:16 PM

got to 80%

I run mine at 80% high efficiency

Thank you SO much for the quick response!

You can't ask for much better support for a product. Other than $, I simply cannot understand why someone would want to run anything but the Mitras!

I absolutely love this light!

Thanks again,

Don

No problem always on hand to help

Johnic · 09/23/2013, 05:25 PM

Aqd, see you have the mp40 too.
If I get the mitra fixture and currently have two mp40w power heads. how easy is it to control the heads remotely?

AQD_ottawa · 09/23/2013, 05:28 PM

if you have the GHL ProfiLux controller then you will be able to control all connected device remotely providing you have the wireless card in the controller to interface with the mitras and the GHL vortech controller.

Gotcha. Thanks. Is the programming easily done with the ghl controller?

AQD_ottawa · 09/23/2013, 05:39 PM

the embedded software into the profilux for the mitras does not come out until next month in line with the launch of the wireless card, however yes it is very straightforward, its menu driven so no need for crazy algorithms etc

Ok. So next month is big. Prob wait until then.

AQD_ottawa · 09/23/2013, 05:45 PM

the next year for GHL is big

lots of things happening

AQD_ottawa · 09/24/2013, 07:23 AM

Thought I would share these photos from a new dealer setting up!

They chose Mitras for all their coral vats, but not just few, oh no! as the photos show, a mass of them! Not specifically required to do the job, but the owners wanted extreme forward flexibility in their systems.

Enjoy!

Anim8me2 · 09/24/2013, 08:51 PM

HOW DID THEY MOUNT THOSE!
I am still looking for a good way to mount my Mitras to the 80/20 frame I am building.
If anyone has any suggestions I am in a real bind and need to get them hung fast.
I am currently balancing them on drinking glasses over my tank after my ATI unit pulled out of the drywall ceiling!

MSHUR · 09/24/2013, 08:58 PM

Here is my set up. Simple but i can have different options if i ever wanna change it

MSHUR · 09/24/2013, 09:02 PM

Sorry for bad pic but you get a idea

Anim8me2 · 09/24/2013, 10:09 PM

That is nice... but I already made the frame with 80/20 aluminum.
