You will blast your corals out the water if you run a mitras at full power over a 36 x 36, its not the area its the intensity.
By all means get two but the light overspill will be an issue and you will be throttling them right back.
I had one over a 36 x 32 x 24 and the tank was amazing

My only concern is hanging it... I have an external overflow. Something 24" long would mount easier off the stand. Hmmmm.... Any ideas?

I had an external too I just hung it from the ceiling, however others have made L brackets off the wall or their own tank rim mounts.
The price is good for another 10 days, but we are now on back order so I suggest getting in very early to get the unit sooner rather than later as I have a pending shipment I can keep adding to up until Thursday.

Need some suggestions on something sleek & modern looking - struggling with mounting. Do not want to hang from ceiling.

Hey frank
There are a couple companies that now make hanging brackets that you can use on the mitras. Check the new echotech tank mount bracket and there is another just can't remeber the name.

Ecotech RMS works on mitras?

From what I understand with a metal plate modification mounted to the bracket and then two holes with mounting screws directly to the Mitras.

I dont know if its already been on the discussion
But this would be nice if mitras light can been turn off during thunder storm
I got some ghl simu spot they are way more realistic
Mitras are flashing way to bright and way to often really.
So it would be nice to have a option like do not react to thunder storm

I posted the below I. Another thread any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for all the help, I did take what you gave me and translated that into I need a new LED fixture LOL So i picked up a Mitras lx 6100 HV boy what a difference in spectrum and color verse the Radion. Well to be honest there is no comparison at all.
But with this come a whole new set of questions that I am trying to learn.
1) Is it true that sps need more light from just 425nm through 475nm range for color? And if so how many hours a day is too much?
2) Now this one is really got me stumped, how much day light do sps need a day to grow and what should the spectrum look like?
So I have right now incorporated my lights to cover mostly the bluer spectrum throughout the day. But I also do have from 4 to 5 all LEDS on at 70 % Intensity with the overall output of the fixture set to 70% as well. I guess what I am asking is what should the kelvin be at or if there is a spectral plot for daylight I can copy from or mimic please let me know.

Good questions and more projects would be nice. GHL should have a project page on their forum. I've looked and found none, I think these lights although nice aren't that popular and we have a small base in the US. I've yet to come up with a project that I like, here is mine if you want to look at it.
