The Radions will require a reeflink for wifi setup as well. Can't wait for the Mitras t oget on my tank.

i think it would be worth while to spend the extra cash and get the latest fixture. its nice that the new LX 7 has Violet and Ultra Violet, the 6200 only has Violet.
How are the moon light setting on the LX7?
On the 6200 i loved that the light followed a natural moon cycle, going from new moon progressing for 2 weeks to full moon then waning for 2 weeks back to new moon. The only thing i didn't like was the moonlight was too bright, i could never figure out how to adjust the intensity of the moonlight, not sure there was a way.

I have both versions here and I greatly prefer the color of the corals under the LX7. On the LX7, there is one less white channel that really ins't needed and that channel is replaced with the 385nm UV channel which can help colors in corals fluoresce a bit more and is a spectrum that is absent in the LX6200. The LX7 also has the benefit of a built in WiFi controller making it easy to connect to MyGHL which allows you to control the light from anywhere as well as from your smart phone. While you can't currently modify a project in MyGHL, you can change the color and intensity of the light from MyGHL. There are other benefits of the LX7 too but for me, those are the key ones. If I had to choose between the two, it's a no brainer. The LX7 improves upon an already great light (LX6200).

Yes, They are awaiting our afternoon pick up. You should have received Tracking this morning, which estimated delivery Monday.
Thanks for your responses. Maybe I decide to upgrade only the clusters. Cheaper option unless wifi controller and other improvements wont be available.
My ceiling is angled, so I can't really get the height from the water surface I would like. My 6 bulb ATI is 7 inches from the water. I could probably get the Mitras an inch or two higher. Do you guys think this is gonna be problematic? Obviously I'd have to probably run at a lower intensity.
It should be ok. The only thing the mitras dont have over ATIs is the ability to tilt forward or back from wires. This could easily be accomplished if they put two mounting screws on the left and two on the right with a wire like assembly like ATI uses.
The mount Slief uses is awesome but requires something to mount it to. You will just have to measure once, twice, and maybe even thrice before you start making holes in your ceiling.
I suggest using these if you want a fast easy job mounting stuff in your ceiling!

I use those for small jobs, hanging pictures on the walls or lights from the ceiling. I dont even check for studs because the metal ones drill into studs too.
Mine?
Monday!
Only thing I'm real nervous about is being able to mount it at the right angle/height. I REALLY did not think about that when placing my tank below this close angled ceiling (was my first ever tank, so I'll cut myself a break).
Unfortunately not. I'll have to wait and see when I get my lights. I'll make a new thread and see if anyone has any suggestions on how to do it. (don't wanna highjack this thread).
I'm excited to see the results/projects soon to be shared here!

Really loving these Mitras. This is the end of sunset phase just before the lights went out tonight. The colors in the tank are spectacular. These pictures do no justice. Especially the full tank shot that is much more blue than the deeper purple look it has in person.
These two pictures are a bit closer to what I see.

I really can't wait for mine to show up. I ordered one for my new display and next month I will order one for the frag tank.

Do you think one light would be enough for a 36" wide tank?
