Program seemed pretty hard at first but am starting to get use to it now.
All corals are going well with greens starting to get a bit deeper colouration.
Time will tell how the rest react

This looks great. It's been 4mo since you posted this, can you send a picture of what the tank looks like now? What are your overall thoughts on having 1 GHL for this size tank? Sorry for all the questions but I'm having a 90cm x 90cm x 50cm tank built right now and yours is so similiar...

Thanks
Chris

As much as i wanted to get away with only using one unit over my tank i have recently had to add a second mitras.
I was finding that to get the coverage from one unit I had to run it at 100% in high output mode which despite being quite high up ended up burning a lot of my corals that were directly underneath it.
While waiting for my second unit, I re hung my ATI t5 over the tank which in the 2-3 weeks corals started improving.
I am now running the two mitras at 80% on high efficiency mode.
At this stage Im not convinced these are as good as the t5s but other people are getting good results with the Mitras so i will give them some time and see how things progress in the tank.
Here's a top down shot with the 2 mitras on my tank. I have done a bit of a rescape to suit the 2 lights.
Cheers

Very beautiful aquarium you have there and you sps are thriving. Congrats on an trule amazing work of art.

Tell us more. 😄

Haxer · 04/02/2013, 06:35 AM

Has GHL made any progress with a wireless adapter for the Mitras? You just cant find the old USB wireless kits they used to have as that standard never really took off like bluetooth for computers,etc...

h.cordero · 04/02/2013, 06:58 PM

Talked to some fellow reefers about the fixture and its light coverage, it seems alittle bit under what its supposed to cover.... What do you think that my tank needs 4 or 5 fixtures? 10 X 2.5 2.5 FT

reefmutt · 04/02/2013, 07:37 PM

With those dimensions, I'd put 5 running perpendicular to the tank..

ReefRockerLive · 04/02/2013, 09:14 PM

h.cordero,

It really depends on what you plan on keeping in the tank. If it's going to be mainly acropora, I'd side with reefmutt and suggest 5 fixtures. Otherwise, 4 will be enough.

FWIW, I'm running one Mitras over a 3ft x 2ft tank without a problem. There isn't any shadowing with one light.

AQD_ottawa · 04/03/2013, 05:09 AM

I am running one unit on a 36x32x24 with no shadows

reefmutt · 04/03/2013, 06:46 AM

Micheal, I find photos always trick my eye, is your Mitras 8 inches off the water or is it higher?

Buller awesome looking tank! Can we see some fts from the sides?

reefmutt · 04/03/2013, 06:47 AM

Sorry, buller, what's the height of your Mitras?

10" above the water line.

jjk_reef00 · 04/03/2013, 03:38 PM

Do you think 3 of these would cover an 8' x 30" x 30" FOWLR without spotlighting?
And at what height should they be hung.

AQD_ottawa · 04/03/2013, 03:40 PM

Yes 3 is fine

10" is a good average

lextheimpaler · 04/05/2013, 05:44 AM

Hi All

I just got pair of new Mitras. Can anyone share their light project with me?

Many thanks

AQD_ottawa · 04/05/2013, 05:48 AM

drop me an email at sales@aqua-digital.com I will send you mine is a real good starting point

polyps222 · 04/05/2013, 08:45 AM

I am excited to say that I have joined the mitras club. I recently purchased one for my 60 gallon tank 30x24x19. Cant wait

nanotank · 04/05/2013, 08:48 AM

Michael, polyps Eddie is a buddy of mine. He's who I was asking for coverage info from you the other day. Hes got the best light out there so he's off the a GREAT start

Cedric · 04/06/2013, 06:25 AM

Hi everyone! I'm a reefer from Singapore and one of the first few proud owners of the GHL Mitra 6100-HV. I am using the Mitra over my 1.5 feet nano cube. Hope you like my humble little tank!

Cedric

reefmutt · 04/06/2013, 10:46 AM

Very nice Cedric!
Have you adjusted the spectrum yet or are you running all leds at 100%?

ReefRockerLive · 04/06/2013, 12:41 PM

Looks good Cedric. Those corals are in paradise under those lights.

Hi, I adjusted by boosting the red, hyper red, hyper violet, royal blue and blue from the 12k. It seems to make the corals "pop"!

Here is a simple video of the tank with the Mitra! Try the Full HD version!

reefmutt · 04/07/2013, 04:35 AM

Wow Cedric, the yellow stripe and the red lady bug on those pyjamas really pop!!

Twins??
The tank looks good, also.
Enjoy the light and the babies!
