Every time I see the inside of LED fixture think probably left with little choice but to upgrade or replace after a few years considering the electronics in a warm moist salty environment. At least your practiced now.

I get mine custom built by a friend who's an electronics expert. He upgrades my lights all the time. Building me a new dual pendant with 3 blue (445nm & 460 nm) and 3 white (6500k, 10000k & 20000k) 10 watt emitters & a 1w blue moonlight. 61 watts total power at max output. What does the Mitra put out for power?

They'll connected to same power source with built-in timers & dimmer switches built into the custom Al heatsinks.

Looking at the guts of your Mitra - looks very complicated but I'm guessing its more an unplug old doohickey and plug in replacement upgraded doohickey.

And my vast knowledge of complex electronics terminology is another reason I just get my friend to build my lights for me

What size tank does this Mitra unit go over? Mine will be over a 2' cube & 30" 93g cube. Fortunately they'll both be set up close together enough to wire into one power source.

Under $300 but think I got it for cost. As I was buying another mitra at the same time.

I should also note that the reason I upgraded was because I had one 6100 and one 6200 and they won't run master slave with the differant colour pucks. Now that I upgraded the one they work together.

omg 300 per light ouch. it's too bad the pucks themselves weren't modular on a per channel basis but that would prob be pretty tough to make.
