how high above the water line is the light?

[AQD_ottawa]

12" inches which is the recommended

[danrobberg]

Michael, I just lowered mine to 8 inches due to having t5 supplemental light. I didn't like the t5 12 inches above the water and if I lower the t5 they block some of the light from the led. Do you see any problems with this? My tank is 32x32x24. With the t5 off the led still has nice coverage over the whole tank.

Providing you dont see water splash :-))

Note: some are for the 6100 and others for the 6200.

Too be honest, after trying several different projects running for 3 months each the best I have come up with for my SPS tank with the 6200's is: All blues and Hyperviolet at 100%, Sky White 40% and all the others at 20%. I use this for 8 hours with a 1.5 hour ramp/down from all 0% all blue. Simple and very effective for me. Overall intensity slider at 65% (I run in the high efficiency mode) I threw away my usb cord to keep me from screwing with the light anymore! Might be a bit blue for you, but growth and color is excellent for me. I feed coral foods 3 nights a week, mix reef roids and coral vitilizer at the recommended doses and have a light to moderate fish load.

Been doing this for 5 months and am very happy as is my tank. Your mileage any vary.

Also, adjust the overall intensity light to suit your corals and depth. Take it SLOW and start out at no more than 50%. in the high efficiency mode.

P.s. My light setting works out to about 17000K for those who follow that stuff. The trick to LED (for me) is to have a reasonable ramp (dusk dawn) and a steady setting for 7-8 hours of one color and reasonable overall Intensity. It will always look less bright than T5 or MH.

The published programs that give a slow continuous ramp from 22K to 6.5K-10K and back down has not been what my corals like at all. Makes sense on paper

but not in my tank.

Hi Mark you sent me a pm but due to not having enough post I can't email you back, can you send me the Aussie reef project to Richard.walton@me.com thanks buddy. This will be my last try with Mitras I have 6x 6200 that are now just sitting in a box and gone back to 2x8x54T5 as every project I have tried hasn't given the same results as my t5 system. I only have Aussies sps in my tank and its stock to the brim so I'm really want this to work.

Thanks

Rich

don't worry I located them from another forum in a previous post I now have the Barrier Reef project I was after, thanks guys

Crazy led!

I've recently upgraded my tank and was wondering if someone can recommend an overall intensity for 45cm deep.

Got the lights at 30cm above water. 2 units. 150cm long tank

I would set up the fixtures parallel with the tank. It will cover nicely. Mines cover 32" individually very well at about 15 in (38cm) high. For intensity, start out with 60% overall in High Efficiency mode. Observe how your corals response then go from there. Set from 65K - 13K for the time you're not home for about 6hrs (2hrs ramping up and 4hrs constant) and whatever color temp that brings out the best coloration in your corals for 3 hrs so you can enjoy your tank when you're home. I got exceptional growth with these Mistras. I ran mine at 80% in High Efficiency right now. Here's a link to my old tank. I took it down recently and upgraded to a larger tank.

[monkeyboy321]

Cheers for the info.

I had the lights over my 4x2x2 for about a year before swapping tank. I think before I was running to intense and getting photo inhibition. 80% in ho and using not much whiter

I'm at 55% in HE now and looks way to bright when I go to a lower Kelvin trying other peoples light runs.

What K is that video taken at you posted ?

[dattong]

It's about 15k.

[ClownReef®]

Does anybody know how to turn the unit on manually? My PC broke and i cannot do it through the Mitras Console.

Thank you

[pking13]

sorry,just wanna ask.i have 4 mitras 6100 hv. i already have download gcc but cannot connect my mitras to gcc.the port not showed up.i use window 7 64 bit.any one can help me?

[ReefRockerLive]

If you do not see "GHL Virtual Communications" listed in Device Manager when the Mitras is connected via USB, then you will have to manually install the driver.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to "This PC" and select your hard drive
2. Double-click on "Program Files x86"
3. Double-click on "GHL Control Center Vxxx" *Your newest version of GCC
4. Double-click on "Driver"
5. Select "dpinst_x86" or x64 and follow the install prompts.

Once that is done, you can go back to GCC and connect.

Make sure that you either have the Mitras connection in GCC either set to Auto or match the COM number of the GHL comm. driver.

Oke thx u very much i will try that

Just upgraded my 24" cube 10 days ago to the new reefer 525 XL with 2 Mitras 6200HV.
love the lights and the tank.
I am looking for projects or ideas on how to set the lights.
the tank is a mix reef with some SPS.
thank you all

Tank looks great, I recently reset my entire system after moving and used the project that the lights come with and just tweaked them a little. Whenever I get the time to open my PC (only used for the mitras) I will send it over.

Thanks.
Did you reduce intensity in the beginning?
I am switching from t5 which I loved but since heat is an issue here in Israel and chiller is not an option I switched to LEDs. Radions were my first consideration but after research I figured these were better and I like to be different. I have the only Mitras in the country as far as I know.
The spread is awesome, the only issue for me is those black lines when taking photos, they come out crappy.

is it possible for me to use dongle for mitras and my comp?sory for the question.thx u

Personally I run a 150 x 55 x 50 and have 2x 6200's over my tank - though I run a mixed reef.
I would think that with 3x you should be pretty well covered. Do you have a picture of your rock layout?

I think you will notice a color change in some of your coral - I know mine changed a lot going from Kessil 360we to the LX6200.

• What intensity are your lights set? HE or HO
• How many hours are they on
• Did you use a preset spectrum, or build your own?
• Can you share your file? I have a few I could send you if you wanted.

Shoot me your email address in a PM and I'll forward you my project. It's a lot easier if you connect to the computer and upload the project. From there you can make adjustments to your liking. My tank is predominantly SPS. The light color during peak time is 10-11k so it's not too blue. I searched around and tried many projects. This one is the one I like the best.
