Thats great spread!

Can you share your setting also for others? This will help eveyone with the learning curve of the software.

It's 22cm from water line. Yes I have a par meter and a chromaticity meter to measure light spectrum. Ill measure over the next week or so

Very good. do you think 22cm is good distance for SPS, i wonder what par is on the bottom. From you picture what % blue and whites do you have set on?

20cm is what is minimum distance from GHL, maybe because of water splash into the units.

took some top downs with my SLR yesterday with the new Mitras LEDs on

Hi Rodney,
How did you attach the light units to the rails ? I can see some kind of screw on the top of the rails ???

Regards,
Hem

just used stainless steel M4x35mm bolts. units are nicely held to the fram.

Thanks Rodney,
I assume they just screwed directly into the holder socket already on the unit. i.e. no need to open unit and drill holes etc ?

while we wait for GHL to continue their important delvopment and get everything ready, drop me an email to sales@aqua-digital.com and I can share with you a very good rail system I think you will find suits your needs, you can then switch to the official GHL one when it releases.

Rodney...do you have any pics of the back of the rail near the part where the power cord is attached to the fixture? I would like to know how you mounted the rails so close to the back of the fixture as to avoid the power cord? I was looking at a solution from 8020.net but the rails were/are too thick.
