What LED pucks did you swap, 6100 to 6200?

reefmutt · 06/22/2013, 12:59 PM

Yes, exactly.

Super easy..

Reef_Paddy · 06/22/2013, 01:00 PM

Got any before and after pics that could show the difference?

reefmutt · 06/22/2013, 02:12 PM

I haven't taken a shot with the new LEDs in.. The problem with making comparisons is that depending in the time of day and the light project, the lights may look completely different or exactly the same.
I think that with either set of LEDs, one could make the tank look exactly the same by playing with the light mixture.. The main difference, I assume, is that the 6200 led clusters just have an ability to produce a greater amount of blue if wanted..
Personally, that's what I wanted..
The replacent of the yellow diode and one of the red diodes with more white/blue isn't dramatic to the eye, but it will provide a much higher K potential..
This is my opinion, not necessarily fact..

AQD_ottawa · 06/22/2013, 02:43 PM

The 6200 allows for easier colour balancing more in the blue tones. Due to the majority of reefers in North America wanting to have clear access to the Blue temp the 6200 is now the standard model for North America, but of course the 6100 can be ordered as a special order same as the 6000 for fresh water tanks.

Could you please advise how many GHL Mitras LX 6100 HV do I need for the sps tank of the following dimentions: 160cm length, 80cm width, 60 cm high(770 liters) - 4 units?
Will I be able to rail them to Mazarra mounting kit that is attached to aquarium?
Thanks

reefmutt · 06/24/2013, 05:19 AM

Most people would use 2 units.
One Mitras will cover an area of 90cm by 35 cm.
Personally, I wanted more point sources of light so I went with 3 over my tank which is 135 cm in length and pretty much the same for width and height as yours..
I hung them perpendicular to the tank.
Like this :
--------
I I I
--------

You could hang two like this
--------
- -
--------
And you would have adequate light.
I have mine set at 50% power at the moment and my tank seems very bright and extremely well covered with light.
You would absolutely not need 4 units..
You could start with two and see how you like the coverage..

gamesnokia · 06/24/2013, 09:07 AM

Many thanks

jjk_reef00 · 06/24/2013, 07:16 PM

I have a lot of yellow fish in my tank and I like to really see the red on the few fish I have with red on them. It seems like the 6200 would not be able to visually show the same colors on the fish as the 6100. Is that a correct statement?

AQD_ottawa · 06/24/2013, 07:20 PM

no not correct, the hyper red has extreme pop to it in the 6200HV

Thanks for clarifying this, what about yellow colors? Is the difference visible to the human eye?

AQD_ottawa · 06/25/2013, 04:30 AM

no problems at all, lets put it this way if you get the 6200 and are not happy i will for free send you $300 worth of 6100 clusters

Basically you will love the 6200 I have no doubt

tyuksel · 06/25/2013, 05:39 AM

Hello,
I have a 90cmX50cm tank that i light with 6x39w ATI Sunpower right now. Its an sps heavy tank running with zeovit method. Its time to change bulbs but i have been considering to change the lamps for a while now. Since i will have a new tank build next year LED seems a good choice for me. I am also a P3.1N user. So long story short i consider 6200HV as a candidate for future tank and i could test it out on my current tank. Is 1 unit adequate for my current size? Can it provide the same par output & coverage with an 6x39w ATI Sunpower?

Thanks

AQD_ottawa · 06/25/2013, 05:46 AM

Hi

yes one unit will fit your tank perfectly.

tyuksel · 06/25/2013, 06:44 AM

My only concern is since led is a singular light source the softies on the sides of the rocks will not get enough light and there will be dark spots..If you say one is enough with my current coral placement and rock structure then i will probably go for it.. Have you seen it?

Thank you for your prompt reply

AQD_ottawa · 06/25/2013, 06:55 AM

I am using one on a 36x 32 and have light overspill, you will have zero issues on your size tank.

tyuksel · 06/25/2013, 07:06 AM

Thanks for your support! I'll post pics when i make the purchase.

stros · 06/29/2013, 05:57 AM

Anyone know if they are going to have a sale on the Mitras? Maybe 4th of July? I just missed the Fathers Day sale. How long before the black units are at the dealers?
Thanks
Mark

AQD_ottawa · 06/29/2013, 06:01 AM

Nope, sorry.

Black units can ship today.

dattong · 06/30/2013, 07:45 AM

AQD, does GHL offer any discount for this July 4th sale? I want to get one. Thanks

AQD_ottawa · 06/30/2013, 08:06 AM

Nope sorry, all discounts were done recently for now, nothing is at all planned and to be honest we are looking at a price rise due to the euro climbing 7 points which means we are now paying $7 in every $100 more than we were, coupled with the annual cost of parts the units really are overdue for a MAP rise to make the product sustainable.

dattong · 06/30/2013, 08:10 AM

So where can I place my order? Please send me a link.

AQD_ottawa · 06/30/2013, 08:16 AM

Hi guys,

I have a 8' x 3' x 2.5'H tank. Around 400 gallons. I have 3 braces at the top of the tank, giving the tank four 2 feet openings. Would the glass bracing have any effect if the light is directly on it?

Would I need 4 units of the mitras of can I get away with 3 units? I'm planning for a full blown SPS tank.

Thanks.
