I noticed it because I run the HV throughout the whole
Lighting schedule, at sunrise and sunset they are only on with royal blue LED. One sunrise I noticed only royal blue was lit, not HV and royal blue like it was supposed to be.
This led me to hook up light to my light composer and see what was up. I then adjusted HV from 0-100% with no other color LEDs on and there was no light.
I then resumed my normal lighting schedule and the HV continue to remain off.
GHL sent me new HV pucks which I changed, still not working.
Now I have spoke with them again and fortunately I'm still under warranty and they are working with me to fix the problem.
I will say, I am very happy with this run of customer service, GHL is standing behind their product,. Thanks GHL!
This light does work when it is functioning properly, it was growing and coloring many different Aussie SPS. I look forward to getting a light in good working order and resuming experiments, ultimately trying to grow and color SPS with only a full spectrum LED fixture.

Hi. What are your settings for -
1 Energy - high output or high effeciency, and %
2 Height of lamp above water.
3 Your Max total % for each individual light channel
I think it's pointless trying someone's light file if you don't know these settings as the differences in PAR can be massive.
I am correct that guideline for height is 12".

I have an 8x2x2 tank. Will 4-5 mitras 6200 cover my tank well? I currently have 4 AI Vega Color over my tank now and the coverage is decent but there is a lot of shadowing going on in my tank.
Correct me if I am wrong but skimming thru this thread, it looks like the mitras reduce a lot of the shadowing you get from other led fixture with the use of more pucks and reflectors essentially acting more like a T5 fixture correct?
Also, are the mitras now controllable via a MAC? I've been reading a lot of old post so I just wanted to get a clear update before dropping some major coin. What mounting options are available for the mitras? Is there a rail kit to join 4-5 mitras together?
I also have one more question not related to the mitras but for the ghl doser if anyone has experience. Does GHL not offer a slave doser anymore? You have to buy two stand alone dosers if you want more than 4 pumps?

4 Mitras will easily cover that size tank.
The fixtures can be programmed on a Mac when you run either Bootcamp or Parallels.

Go to the ghl sponsor forum. You will find a thread you might be interested in regarding the amount of Mitras lights you are looking for.

I know you're selling your Mitras, but do you by any chance still have the files from the site? Any chance you could send them to me? I'd be glad to host them for others if you'd like to pass that on..

I have the files that were on the Profilux website. If you give me your email ill be happy to pass the folder on.
I had to get a crappy PC to run the control center. There was no way virtual box or bootcamp was going to run it on my mac. I truly hope GHL makes a mac interface soon.
We should start a thread about the projects with the highest rate of success..

Parallels doesn't work with the GHL found out trying to update my Doser 2.
had to go to a friends house and we hand to use Windows.
I didn't want to wast the hard drive space just to install Window to update My Doser 2.
Wish they would make a true Mac version or have them all work with the cloud straight out of the box.

Sorry to hear your having trouble getting everything up and running. Please see this thread on our support forum for steps on performing firmware updates:
http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/showthread.php?10816-Mitras-Firmware-issues
Mitras is not yet compatible with myGHL. At the moment, myGHL supports the GHL Doser 2 and Profilux 3 & 3.1.

Can you post the instruction on here. When I click on the link on your forum a page all in German showed up.

Click on english at the top of the webpage
This is my thread on the GHL forum, if your having issues with GHL firmware updates follow my recommendations and this will allow you to upgrade your lights. I found after multiple attempts , bootcamp is more stable with Mitras than trying it via Parallels.
