Never had Orpheks but I think 4 LX7’s would do pretty well over that sized display with our without the T5’s. I assume when you are talking about the T5 Hybrids, you are talking about these? If so, I’ve seen them and they are pretty nice when coupled with the Mitras!

Slief - I looked online and the pictures show 3 LXs mounted. I have 4. Will the 61inch T5 hybrid hold 4 LX7206s? I currently mount them perpendicular to my tank, but can easily go with parallel with the supplemental T5s running on the outer edges.

I'm honestly not 100% sure but the specs state that 61" version has eight "œstraight holding brackets" which would lead me to believe it's setup for up to 4 Mitras (2 brackets per Mitras). The 48" appears to be setup for 3 since it has six straight holding brackets. So I am pretty certain the 61" is in fact designed and includes the hardware for up to 4 fixtures.

Thanks. I have an email into both GHL and AquaticLife on the topic and will provide an update here once I hear back.

I'm 99% certain, the answer is yes since it has the 8 straight brackets.

I tagged Marco, Vinny and Matthias in my initial replay. Hopefully one of them responds here shortly.

Contacted both GHL and AquaticLife regarding the T5HO hybrid. The 61" unit will hold 4 LX7s. Further, AquaticLife just started selling units in the US that measure 19.4" wide with an inner gap of 8.46" that will accommodate the LX7s.

there is a program recommended by Vinny from ghl that moves the light from ~21K to ~17.5K and back, using energy options. you can find it on this thread - look for screen prints. I am using this one. And my SPS are loving it. Actually the whole tank is loving it.

+1. I've been using Vinnie's light schedule since July (after my MH to LED conversion) and my tank took a while to adjust, but is absolutely thriving now. I am so glad I was patient and didn't mess with anything.

SPS's are doing great.

Hi
Someone can send me or where i can find the light schedule from vinny and those use that settings, do you have pictures of the success
Thanks

I am pretty sure this is the same as Vinny's project file.

I have 4 mitras lx6 and wanted to add 2 more lights. Will the new lx7 be compatable with the LX6?

The spectrum and channel assignment would be different. You could probably visually match your LX6's but you'd need to setup, program and control them as a separate pair since the LED channel and diode color mix are different.

Hello,

I have 2 new LX 7206 and i would like to have some explanation about the "maintenance" menu ?

thanks for your answer

Maintenance allows you to set a specific light setting for when you are doing maintenance on the tank. Perhaps you might now want the lights as blue or white or you want to have the lights turn on to a specific setting when doing maintenance when the lights would normally be off. You can create a maintenance light setting via GCC and then use the display interface on the light to temporarily change the light setting to the maintenance light setting of your choice. I’ve never used that feature myself but that is essentially what it does.
It’s touched up briefly on page 14 of this manual.

Help connecting Mitras to P4

Help connecting Mitras to P4

Looking for some advice on what I'm doing wrong...

I have five Mitras LX7206 units that I set up several weeks ago. At that time, my Profilux 4 was still running my old tank so I set up the Mitras with one being the master (address #1) and the other four as slaves with addresses #2, #3, #4 and #5. All on channel 11.

This worked fine: what configuration I made on the master was automatically taken up by the four slaves. I could connect to the master via WiFi and myGHL.

Then several days ago I moved the Profilux to the new tank. I installed a PWC card in the back slot. The PWC card is visible in System and uses channel 11. I gave the card the address #1. I then changed the mitras that was the master to slave and gave it the address #6. When I changed it to slave the lights went out on the unit. I then changed it to standalone and the old schedule came on.

I don't think there is any communication happening between the Profilux and any of the Mitras: any change I make in light composer on the Profilux has no effect on any of the lights. We changed to winter time last weekend and the Mitras are all still on summer time.

I just tested another of the lights by changing its status to standalone from slave. All the channels are now at 0%, even when I change it back to slave mode. So now I've gone back to the original configuration of having one of the Mitras being the master (now address #6) and the other slaves. This works as before.

What is frustrating is that the actual Mitras units do not show up anywhere in the Profilux as being connected. All I can see is that the PWC card is installed. Shouldn't something show the number of lights that are connected to the Profilux and their addresses?

So what am I doing incorrectly? Help!

Thanks!

Laith

Can anyone point me in the direction of a thread or post of someone actually retrofitting the newer 6300 LED boards onto a 6200/6100 series Mitras? Even just repairing a light? I have a 6200HV that I'm considering swapping over to a 6300HV, I just have no real clue about how to due so as GHL doesn't seem to show or discuss it anywhere other then to say its possible? It appears like you just swap out with the older boards in which case is it possible to use those older LED boards and retrofit them in some other manner like people were doing with Radion LED pucks? The replacement pucks/boards are quite reasonably priced if there is a way to rig them up DIY you could make quite the light I'd think?

I am not aware of any retrofit thread but it's pretty straight forward. Just remove the side covers, slide the shield off the bottom of the fixtures and the clusters will be easily accessible. You then remove 4 screws per cluster and unplug each cluster and swap in the new ones. Then install the screws and replace the covers.

As for using the old clusters as a DIY setup, you'd have to figure out the wiring first as that is not published and I'd not be sure where to even start with that.

I am so close to being happy with my schedule.
2 questions:

When i get my illumination run set where i want it and transmit to channels. Some of the channels are not generating a chart. When i go to Cool white, red and green there is no graph at all even though those bulbs do have capacity throughout the run.
This doesn't seem right. . I assumed when i transmit the run to channels that those channels should generate graphs based on the run. What am I missing?

Second, moon simulation, I have it turned on and the royal blue channel clicked on "depends on moonphase" from 12:30am to 12:30 pm. Do I need to turn that channel on in the illumination run during that time frame and set my brightness? Assuming that will be the max brightness and will vary with moon phase?
Or do i just leave everything at zero's during that time on the illumination run and the simulation will do it's thing?

Thanks in advance as always,
Conor
