![]() We also gave up on the GHL Mitras for our SPS system. Just not enough PAR to keep them well colored.
Currently swapping them out for 400w 20k Radium MH. ![]()

my sps issue was more of poor reefer practise and we wanted an instant sps tank so dipping got skipped, i knew better but it is what it is . first came the nudis for montipora then ended in a AEFW bout. as far as leds go period theres none that i really like , seems if you play with the colors to something that is visually appealing the corals suffer. i had to drop the mitras down another 4" but seems to bleach lps easily enough , my chalices arnt happy at all but everything else has finally come around ![]() cheers denny |

![]() 400w Radium give off a lot less PAR then the GHL Mitras I dont think it can be done. where you lamps on 100%

![]() Xenon, this would be an absolute first, your systems are very new on the scheme of things I highly doubt in 12" water you have PAR issues when tanks 3 times that depth are turning their lamps down due to burning corals.
Even a commercial system Mitras system in 30" of water ![]() |

I would rather keep the Mitras than swap them out for older technology but they just don't work to color up SPS due to low PAR (too much light spread). I have spent enough time with them to know for sure.

![]() I can assure you the brightness of a 400w Radium completely blows away the GHL Mitras with all color channels @ 100%.

![]() i would love to see the results as i find them dim to the eye but obviously they bleach lps pretty easily if at a higher intensity.

![]() I think user SPS photos say a lot also. ![]() http://test.reefcentral.com/forums/s...219645&page=30 I really have no idea why your PAR meter would read so low to be honest, but good luck with the Radiums 400's hope they work out for you. |
