Mitras LX7 Project

Hey guys,

So I got the Mitras LX7 a year ago or so, and I'll be honest, I'm not even really sure that my light project is good/working. Anyone have any recommendations? I've gone to the GHL website and seen the shared projects, but I'm still not really sure if I'm on the right track.

For reference, 90G mixed reef. Running high efficiency mode at 85%.

It looks fine to me. I run a 4 hour ramp, 4 hour peak and 4 hour ramp down. I start at around 20k like you. I peak around 15k for 4 hours. Then ramp down. Both my ramp up and ramp down are mirror images of each other. And a peak of 85% should be just fine.

Mitras LX7 Project

What makes you think it’s not a good light? If it’s growing coral and the color is good, Its a good light. looks like it’s a good light. I’ve had mh, t5 and leds and they all grow at similar rates imo.
