Mitras LX6200HV upgrade to 72xx leds?

[hfx987]

Hello,

I am setting up my first reef tank... (gets delivered this weekend!)

and for lighting I am looking at some LX6200HV's available locally second hand

and I was wondering if it is still possible to buy the 72xx LED upgrade clusters for the 62xx?

I understand that direct wifi isnt available etc going this route - but that doesn't worry me as I eventually want to run a profilux 4 with the PLM-PWC

I would also like some advice - for a mixed reef over my 1500mm l x 600mm w x 550mm d tank would 2 LX6200HV's be enough mounted longways or should I get 3 of them and mount them side by side. The tank is rimless so i don't have to worry about any bracing etc getting in the way.

Thanks for your help!

Sam.

Sam -

The LX6 - 6300 UV chips are available on the webstore. I assume you're not in the US?
WW Store: https://store.aquariumcomputer.com/en/product_info.php?info=p127_led-boards-for-mitras-lx-6300.html
US Store: https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/usa/product/2-pcs-main-led-boards-for-mitras-lx-6300/

On a mixed reef you can get away with 2 units, if you're going more SPS, 3 may be a better solution.
I ran 2x on a Reefer 450 that was 150 x 50 x 55, with great results!

Thanks Marco,
No - im not in the US.
I might just give that a go if the units are still available after I have replenished the slush fund. If they aren't - I think I will have to save up some more for some new 72xx's
