Youd think a guy with a few years experience and some time with other LED platforms would be able to figure it out, well nope!

Either way, the Geisman fixture is back up over the tank and lighting up the graveyard. Will leave the tank alone for a week and see if the clingers fight back, if not I will dismantle and start again

Good luck and hopefully your tank will recover fully and quickly.

So you do not go through it again I strongly advice acclimatizing them back under the Mitras on low setting for example 30% for a week, if you keep changing back and forth you run more risk of adding more stress.

 

[reefmutt]

Yes, I tend to agree. .
If the mitras is the light you will use long term, it would seem (to me) prudent to acclimate them under it.

 

[rodneyri]

I wonder why I didn't have any issue moving from the ATI power straight to the Mitras

 

[Rotknee]

I went from 5 Ai Sol Blues 9" ATWL running at 100% (with 70 degree optics) to 3 Mitras at 100% (high output mode) also at 9" ATWL. I've since added three new acros that are doing well. The 3 acros were previously kept directly under 250w MH lamps. I did acclimate for a full seven days going from 60% to 100% over that time period.

On a side note, the only time I have burned the tips of my acros was when my Alkalinity was greater than 9 using my Ai LEDs.

Does ordering and paying for a Mitras make me a club member or do I need to wait for delivery? My little RSM130D will never look the same again!

 

[SERVO]

Rodneys system is very acclimatized the Mitras can illuminate strongly down to 48" (we have a system running 18 Mitras to that depth) so raising by 20" will sadly not be enough. You do still have to acclimatize the corals under low light settings for a good 10 days raising the % slowly.

Typically it will be deep water SPS that suffer first.

Holy Moly!! 18 fixtures!!!! Yikes! What are the dimensions of the tank?

rodneyri and other Mitras owners...I'm curious and have a few questions...looking for an in depth conversation on this...

I've been using rodneyri's light project since installing the fixture over my tank and am curious if this is optimal in regards to spectrum. What are all of you using? 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.

The owner does not want me releasing details until the project is finished, I am awaiting posting approval

Good for all. I get two screens mitrax morning 6100, I finally decided to try two and see if it's low light'll buy a third screen. I wanted to ask that I put up with that power and as I start to slowly uploading in so they do not my corals?

 

[scolymia]

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.....

 

[Jony375]

Hello, could someone help with my previous question? Thank you

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Hi
Start Low at 30% and gradually increase over 14 days

 

[Jony375]

Ok, thanks

 

[Clownin Aroun]

How many of these would i need for a 50x36x30 rimless tank that i am having built for me?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

2 units

 

[Clownin Aroun]

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?!?

 

[M007]

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. :hmm4:

 

[AQD_ottawa]

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

 

[Clownin Aroun]

is there are way to make them 90 degrees right from the unit it self?
