right now I am in high output an running at 85% I hope to get to 100 % in a few months as my tank is deep. But from what i see my clam on the sand bed is getting more blue by the day and its mantel is not over extended It looks perfect so I guess the light is enough for now.
Hi all,new around here so bare with me while i find my way.
Looking at starting up a new tank,( old one 5x2x2 shut down due to a moving), new tank 8x3x2.
Question: looking at 5 mitras over this tank, ( already have 2 from previous set up) who thinks this is overkill?. I'm thinking this will give me great coverage to put my SPS anywhere in the tank.

Each one covers a 36 x 36 area 7 fixtures is way to much.so are you looking to keep Sps or a mixed reef? By the way welcome to Reefcentral.

Not so fast guys, the answer depends on how high you are going to hang them. My dims are 84 x 28 x 24 @ 20cm. 3 were okay but now with 4 it's awesome. I found with 3 6100's I had to crank up the intensity to cover the tank which fried most things directly under the lamps. With 4 units I can back off the output without sacrificing coverage and I can sit on the couch without retina damage watching the tank
these fixtures will not give you the spread a 8 or 10 tube T5 or MH with proper reflectors will. No bulb changes and less power consumption yes but same spread no. With a 36" depth I would mount 5 in a ||||| configuration. HTH

While I'm here, please provide link for ordering 6200 retrofit kits, thanks
Sounds good to me but I am loving the 6100hv right now. Maybe when things start looking really good I will upgrade just to find something else to break. Lol I did see the 6200hv In pics and it's almost identical, but they are more blue and that's just the way I like my project. I have adjusted my project I little more and will post it soon.

I would tend to agree with this.. Especially if sps is your thing.. Better overall coverage and you can run them at a lower intensity..
