Seeking advice on moving zoas to frag tank

We finally set up the 46 bowfront to use as a frag tank. Our 75 is way overgrown and we're moving many, many frags to the 46. I was just wondering if all the zoa frags we will be moving should be kept at the same distance from the current light. The light in the 75 is T5 50/50s and 11,000K. The lights in the 46 are 1 T5 50/50 and 1 T8 (maybe) 10,000K.

I just want to make sure that I won't cause any of our zoas to melt while they are adjusting to the frag tank.

And FYI, the frags will be ready to trade/sell the first of the year. We have close to 12 different morphs. I'll keep anyone posted that wants to know about the frags once we get them moved and photographed.

Thanks for any input!!! :D
 
Keeping them at the same height is probably a good idea.

I have a frag pool in my basement where my zoas are even closer to the light and they love it. From 12 to 20 inches away from a 250 watt bulb to 10 inches away from a 175 watt bulb, with less water between them and the bulb.

My Raspberry Limeaide frag has put on 6 polyps in 2 weeks of moving it down to the frag pool.
 
I've noticed similar flow is almost more important that light. if you move it from a low to high or high to low. Its caused some problems with my frags.
