Well, after I made the switch I hooked up my radion to my laptop and pretty much copied the "radiant" profile
(light setup, intensity and times) from ecosmart live to mitras with the addition of yellow and HV spectrum. It's just the moon phase that I'm trying to figure out, if anybody could help me with this? Thanks Last edited by Top-dogg; 02-12-2013 at 11:43 PM.

I haven't had any issues with running the factory light program right from the start. It's been about 2-3 weeks. I moved a Duncan down lower as well as some other LPS. I also left my eggcrate on for the first 10 days or so, it blocks a bit. The Mitras aren't super intense and don't really hit full power during the factory program.

I was running 100% on my radion, what I did was I start at 70 then ramp up to 100% for about 1-1/2 I also put uv at 100. I have mostly sps and my red planet is starting to have a green colour on its base. Other sps are starting to get colour that was not there before.
I'm quite happy with these lamps, except I'm still trying to figure out how to operate moon phases. My moonlight stays on all night, every night with same intensity.

100% on eco mode (default) is only 80%, so something to consider. Also not much concern with these fixtures, the even spread and lack of optics should eliminate most threats from burning coral. Keep it on eco mode for now and program whatever you figure, I can't see you having any issues.

I am having a hell of a time updating the FW. I also bought a MS Surface Pro running windows 8 and can't get it to even see the lights when they are plugged in.

You may need to update the USB driver, I needed to. One other step that is easy to miss is to match the COM Port # near the end of the process. PM me if you still have trouble, I just updated my firmware to 1.09 tonight.

Well, I went from having a working Mitra to one that won't turn on after trying to update the firmware. Doesn't even recognize the drivers supposedly.
