if you put SPS under LED at too high power you will burn them, they must go through a very gradual acclimatization process starting at as little as 30% going up by 5% every 3-4 days.
This is always true when work with acropora, stylophora and pocii... always photo-aclimatize it... no only for leds. Two or three days at bottom of the tank, for changing from t5 to hqi or any source light change.

I now have two Mitras and i am interesting in download differents "light proyects" for LPS and SPS. The problems is not only the PAR and light intensity... there are many kinds of leds in Mitras, and differents hours at the day to programme different colours. So i Would like to try same configurarion of people who has good results with any corals, as good as SPS or LPS.

So if they can share their "light composer proyect" will be very interesting thing for us.

I'm sorry for my poor english.....

AM i the only one that thinks the cord coming out of the top looks a little weird?

Is there any way to make it have a 90 degree angle to prevent it from looking like that?!?

I thought so too at first, but it's really the only way to allow all of the possible hanging options. My frustration is that the cords are too short and it seems my request for extensions was ignored.

The request for extension was not ignored it simply can not be done due to Meanwells restriction on cord length to avoid impedance losses.

No as this will pull the lamp off center. This is why the cable goes straight up and user tie the cord to the hanging wire.

How do you as an individual user determine this? I ask because I want to ensure that I'm utilizing the full capabilities of the fixture.
I too am curious. Rodney......you think I can get your light specs downloaded to my units? I'm lazy and can't be bothered with the computer program portion of it. I'm doing a full SPS tank. Any help would be great. Michael. .... you have anything that you seen from others that is a great SPS PROGRAM. Any help would be good.

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it. Can't wait to see how your program looks. Your tank looks great with the spectrum and color temp you setup. I hope it is easy to download to the Mitras. Computer skills are not the best.
