If you provide your email I can send a couple of variants of a ~12 hour lighting period - sunrise, 21K blues to 14K whites back to 21K blues and then sunset.

A question for you Mitras LX7 users. How many lights would you put over a 48 x 30 x 22 tank and in what orientation?

The tank will be a mix of sps and lps.

You’d need at least 2 should be fine. I’d run them from to back because of the 30” width.

This was 2 LX7’s over a 48” tank at MACNA. Not a great picture but the tank looked great under the two LX7’s.

I am running 4 front to back on my 72x26x24. I have them dialed all the way up with a 12 hour photo period between 17000K and 21000K. Growing SPS, and Coraline algae on the front and side glass.

[Fredfish]

Thanks gents. I thought front to back, or in this case side to side, since it will be a peninsula , would be best. I just wasn't sure that they could cover a full 24" in that configuration.

Nycman. Your lights are on 18" centers, which I would think is ideal.

2 will work fine. I have 2 over a 120 (48x24x24). As said above, I would run them front to back. But you won't exactly be squeezing coverage from them...they have an amazing spread.

[James77]

These are 2 of them on my 120. Easily could cover another 6-12 inches in width or length.

The tank is since filled and has livestock in it, but have not updated pics. Prior to this, my old tank was the same size and I ran them parallel(opposite of what you see), and the coverage was similar. I have them mounted with Kessil A series brackets, using a drilled DIY adapter and spacers(for fans) to mount them to.

FWIW I am running (4) LX7's on my 180-gls SPS. It's 60 x 24 x 29. VinnyGHL suggested running (4) to limit shading issues once the SPS's grow out. Probably could have gotten away with (3), but what the heck....lol.

To that end, I was originally running them 8" above water line and now raised them to 10". Should I raise them to 11-12"? What is everyone running theirs/height above water......recommendations welcomed?

Thanks so much in advance............

I’m very excited to join the club. For the time being, I ordered a single LX7206 to run over my 36x30x18 tank.

Getting very close to getting my lights hung over my standard 4x2x2 with a (very annoying) center brace.

I am thinking I will mount my (2)7206’s the “long” way, long side of light parrllel with long side of tank and pitch them slighty toward the center.

Would love thoughts on this verses mounting the lights the “short” way.

Also thoughts on about high off the the top the tank the lights should be would be great. I’ll have adjustability, but looking for a general target.

Looking forward to opinions.

Cheers

I’d mount them with the long side front to back. That will reduce shadowing towards the front of the tank. Angling them slightly towards center is a great idea as it will increase coverage over the center of the tank while reducing lightbleed onto the sides. As for height, I’d go 8-10” above the water. They are very powerful so you could go a bit higher if you wanted.

[Conor_K]

Perfect, thanks for the input slief.

Time for some fine tuning before my Pro 4 shows up...

Hi Reefcentral! I was wondering if any of you Mitras owners are running something similar to the radion sps ab+ program. I am currently running a program that I like visually and it’s keeping my corals alive. The only thing I’m not seeing is growth. This is why I would like to try simulate the radion sps ab+ program.
I am using the Mitras 7206

Thanks!

Update on the mitras simulating radion sps ab+

I love the new settings. I’m testing out the waters with a frag that was in my other tank running t5s. The frag is doing well and showing a lot of polyp extension. Once I see it encrust the frag plug I will add more sps frags to further confirm the new settings are working.

Where are you finding info regarding the Radion simulating AB+? Where's the downloadable link?

[scuzy]

Have you bump up the intensity. I have notice when I had my mitras I didn't get much growth but going to radioms growth with in two weeks. I learned later on I need to run at 120-140 percent.

I realize it isn’t the best photo, however it running d2mini’s light project and I love the look of the tank.

Also, I just love the light overall.

There’s no downloadable link. I just set the leds to the same
Percentage as the radion sps settings. The radion settings are
100% for royal blue, blue and ultraviolet. 24% for white, green and red.
The mitras have a few leds that the radions don’t have so I just set those to 24% too.
So far everything is doing great.
I also changed the energy settings to high output.

Here's a screenshot of my "energy options" settings in GCC. I got these settings from a GHL support person. This is what he recommended doing to increase intensity.

Make sure:
Mode is set to 100%
Max Temp Allowed set to 65
Max Fan Speed set to 100%

And try setting the "Power Balance Tech" to the settings I have in the pic. Just have to make sure all channels equal 100% grouped together.

At least that was what I was instructed to do and have them running like that since July.

It is pretty frustrating the lack of info on these LED fixtures. IMO they are great fixtures just limited support and user feedback.

Hi all, finally got my first 7206 programmed yesterday, for a first time user to the Mitra software, there is a bit of a learning curve. I just want to say thanks to Vinny and Marco for all your help. Once you understand how to use the software it is a pretty simple process, and I have no idea why I waited so long to change from my M/H-VHO lighting.
