Mixing Hydra 26 and 52

[chunkysoup56]

I came across a deal on several hydra 52 and 26 HDs. I was looking to run them on a 180g mixed reef with the BRS ab+ settings.

I realize that they are the exact same style of puck, but would I be able to run them on the same settings since they have different output strengths (I.e. same
Controls in the ai app)? Worse case I was thinking that I could create separate settings in the app for each model if needed.

Thanks in advance!

The app can handle the different models fine, I have been running a mix-and-match setup for my 120g since it started. It's currently lit with a hydra 26HD and Hydra52HD but it used to be a mix of the non-HD and HD units. Mixing the non-HD and HD units doesn't give the exact same color but the app is able to use them in tandem too. I don't think you'll have any noticable difference if you're running the same pucks on the different fixtures (other than the light spread obviously).
