The 6100HV is now sold out in North America unless you are one that got shipped today to The Fish Store.

The 6200's arrive in about 14 days and this is the standard model and will remain so.

yes you can downgrade but if you have a 6200HV coming there is absolute no reason to downgrade however I am sure a 6100 user that has upgraded would happily do you a deal on their existing clusters.

Considering the very slight increase in PAR I would be happy with the 6200 to be honest. I would be amazed if anyone wanted to downgrade their lamp. You said earlier you wanted more blue with red toes, this is exactly what the 6200 provides.

The closest colour to what I like is this picture here

this has a slight hint of redish/pinkish look, you think its possible with new mitras?


I will most probably just let fate decide what I get

thanks for all your help anyhow

Yes of course this is possible.

Hi guys

Just would like to get some basic info from users please.


1. What is your max intensity (and your tanks depth)?

2. How long does your light project run at its max intensity?

3. What colour (K) is it at max intensity?


Thanks to all in advance!

Thanks to all in advance!

1. I have blues and HV at 100% and my tank is 24"

2. Max intensity from 11 am to 5 pm

3. 13700 K

I was wondering the same thing shaggss. I have had my lights over my tank for 2 weeks now and I have only 2 corals react negatively. I had a cyphastrea bleach and my pink lemonade has browned out a little but other than that my corals look pretty good.

 

[shaggss]

Thanks for the reply jverna1.

I sort of followed the preset Light Project and just have my max intensity at 80% for two hours at 12000K.

Some of my corals are brown and I have read increasing light intensity could help (yes, along with many other factors!) but did not want too bleach them.

I may try increasing the time at max intensity.

Thanks again!

LPSpsClown,

That's my tank and the light was set to make that color an hour before the lights turned off. I have since then tweaked the colors, but if my memory serves me right, I had my HV at 100%, B at 5%, RB at 10%, HR and R at 20%, Green at 5%, and Whites at 4%.

hi rod, i'm new here and will get my 6200 next week (hope so), could you please email me your setting? thx alot.

[AQD_ottawa]

Try to avoid anything above 50% for at least 3 weeks with any new LED you will kill corals otherwise. low and slow.

 

[darkpisces]

thanks. AQD_ottawa.
i'll slow down and start with 30%.
each week + 10%. is it recommend to run preset program in Mitras?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

You can but it has quite the "european" feel to illumination I would run your own, a good one is all blue and HV at 100% and the whites the same and the red and yellow off and the H-Red at 20% set the brightness to 40%.

This is for peak daytime

 

[darkpisces]

thanks for your quick reply.
i cant wait to get my new 6200 now.....

 

[AQD_ottawa]

are you in north america?

 

[darkpisces]

no, i'm in Taiwan.

 

[AQD_ottawa]

argh ok was going to say that the shipment for NA comes in late this week with the 6200's

 

[darkpisces]

ya, that's what info i got also in local store.

Hi,

I am running a nano tank with size 24"x24"x12 with 2 radions. Wondering if 1 mitras could handle nicely for my tank size. My tank is sps dominated.

And I am planningnto upgrade to bigger tank 40"x40"x20" how many mitras would be enough to cover all area since I like place sps everywhere.
Thanks

Hendrik

 

[ReefRockerLive]

One Mitras can do a 24" cube no problem and keep all the sps happy. You'd probably want to go with two fixtures over a 40" cube.

 

[BigAl2007]

Ditto to ReefRockerLive

I think a single Mitras would be amazing over a 24" cube. Talk about stupendous SPS growth and coloration

 

[darkpisces]

Hi guys,
I've a 24'' cube also, could you please send me your setting to darkpisces@hotmail.com ?
will post pic once i've it set.
thanks alot.

@ReefRockerLive

You have amazing tank and thanks for the colour run-down.

I am now actually thinking about ordering a second unit and considering I only have a 200 liter corner tank is very excessive, but I was thinking of running them both at reduced power would this be a good idea or even possible?

The reason for this idea is that I want something just encase one light unit fails I can ramp up the second unit unless they both fail GHL seem to be very slow with repairs over here. They cant even give me a firm delivery date on unit arrival, I cant be without lights for 4+ weeks while they repair it specially as i am going SPS dominant tank. Even buying another unit is near to impossible in terms of availability as they are only ordered in from Germany, no stock is kept here from my discussion with suppliers here.

so good or bad idea? would I have difficulty adjusting the intensity of both units as opposed to 1 unit so I don't end up with cooked corals?
