I am moving in 1 week and part of my strategy is to set up a temporary tank before I break down my display tank. I've given away a large part of my corals and fish to reduce bioload and make room for the smaller temp tank. It's a 48 x 18 x 24 and my current display is 72x24x21. I'm running AI Vegas on the current tank and my peak intensities are 95% for the deep blue and blue, 90% for the royal blue, 15% for the green, 23% for the red and 28% for the white. I bought a pair of Hydra 52's that I will use on another build after the 6 foot tank is set back up.

What settings would you recommend to approximate what the corals are getting now with the Vegas...taking into the consideration the 3" greater depth and the fact I won't be stacking the rock very high in the temp tank.?
