Hi kwiatek,
Honestly, it's hard to give you an answer. There are so many options to tweak your light. The easiest would be to say, your water parameter's are off. :-)))
But seriously, we need to know more about your light settings. What is your light schedule? in which output mod you have set it, and so on.
You have asked the same question over in reefcentral, didn't you get any answer?
I run my Mitras 6100 since three years now and I'm very satisfied even though I had some coloring problems but never had grow issues.
I found out later that my coloring issues related to that I unintentional sett red, orange, yellow, and green levels too high. So it was out of balance with blue, white and hyper violet.
Long story short: there's so many settings you can do right and many to screw.

The best answer was change to HQI+T5 or T5 only

before you had about 350W of light power, you replaced it with 190W Mitras

so you really need the max. light output Mitras is anle to deliver

i have acclimatization from 50% to 80%

what does that mean? you are at the moment somewhere between 50% and 80% ? why?

I guess you just need MORE light

to achieve this:
- keep dimming phase short (maybe 30 minutes)
- have all white and blue and HV channels at max. most of the day
- other channels as you like

- energy options: high output, 100%
- maybe extend illumination duration over the day

switch off acclimation

I didn't see that thread. Maybe you better ask questions relating our products in our sub-forum: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=527
We can't scan all forums in order to find open support cases. Thank you.

Hi,
Matthias was faster than I was, so I can just come in to line with him.
I have meant that particular forum/thread.
I figured out by my mistakes that LEDs are all about how you set them since we have 9 channels to play with.
And furthermore, to mimic an previous light with LEDs looking at Watt, PAR, Lumen is foolish.
I by my self think know it would be the best to set LEDs with a spectrometer, but this devices are not under 1000€.
