    It's a safer bet to start it out on the bottom, then slowly move it up. Some Favias are more sensitive to light. Where did the previous owner have it?

    I would think lower 3rd of the tank be okay for it. If he needs more you can move em up as previously stated.

    Your lighting is just as intense as MH, place it in the same area as the previous owner.
