I only suggested it because you had the vertex 260 on your list which is close to $1900 while one mitra is $1100 so it seemed like another option worth considering, not quite as much power but better spread and color which I think is worth some sacrifice.

Sorry man i have been trying to type with my iphone and i have big fingers and thumbs lol

Ok i think i have it narrowed done to 2 lights when i start this cube up

The mitras x 1

Or

The vega's x 2

nice dimensions mike. not that i've seen either light but if the mitras has significantly less disco effect / colour banding i'd go that route personally.

This should make for a neat setup. I like those dimensions, should make for some really neat aquascaping options. Good luck with the build!

I have a Vega and I just don't see this disco effect that everyone seems to be fascinated with. I know there's drugs that give you the disco effect! Maybe these people need to lay off them lol.

I've seen this effect from every fixture I've seen in person other than my Kessil which so far which includes:

- maxspect razor
- ai sol
- radion

I think some (more cursed) people detect it better than others.

I don't think you will be adding the GHL Mitras to that list...lots of shimmer but no disco.

My experience is the color kind of sucks being that it's not adjustable and most people have different tastes. Plus they disco.

As for the Vegas if you can't see the disco then you are the one that should lay off the drugs Some people don't mind it which is obviously fine, personally it makes my eyes hurt and it's next to impossible to get decent pics under them.
