Mitras LX 6100

[Koestby86]

Im looking into buying the GHL Mitras LX6100HV for my RSM 250, I am not sure if I should get one or two units to hang over the tank? Currently using Razor 420R, 160w 16k..

Here`s the dimensions - 960 x 552 x 665 mm (38 x 21 x 26.2") What do U think ?

Best regards Kenneth

1 will do it

I can get two for the price of one, should i buy both? They are only ran about 6 months.

If you have that good of a deal in front of you, you should get 2 fixtures. Having two will be enough to have SPS anywhere in the tank.

Thx, talked to Allen at ReefBytes and I found out it was a no-brainer pretty quick..

Getting the lights tomorrow =) =)

So the lights are up and hanging, I love em already!! Turned the max power down to 50% and intensity running at max 60%. Gotta monitor the corals and how they react, found a project called Aaron's on some site and currently trying it out with the % above. The lights is 20 cm over the tank.

Anything you Mitras owners wanna fill in, please do


Before I tweaked the lights

Wow lots of light one would have been ample so be careful with the power ! Go low go slow

 

[Koestby86]

So should I go lower than posted above ?

50% should be a good starting point. Just keep an eye on your coral and make sure they don't starting getting pale.

With 2 of them turned that way, U can run a frag tank in front of the main tank and lighting will still cover it. LOL

ROFL, dont U put such thoughts into my head

But jokes aside, should they be sideways? I didnt try that before hanging em up there.

I`m really liking this light!!

I think you installed them in the correct way.

BTW - at how much % power are you now after a few weeks?

 

[Koestby86]

Hey, and thanks for asking.

I just cranked the power up too 60% yesterday, run a project that also peaks at 60% intensity atm, gonna run it like this for a month if the corals react good to it.
