I'm interested in feedback with the setup in the title or those with t5ho lights. I'm wanting my SPS to thrive, I have enough par for sure, but my problem is I nothice a loss of color under the SPS or on shaded sides. Will t5ho offer light in different directions to help fix this issue? What would be pros and cons of doing a set up light this.

for my system I'm thinking of adding a two bulb t5ho retrofit from brs. If it sounds like a good idea what bulb(s) should I get that would most help growth and coloration. 1 bulb would be on the front side and one bulb would be on the back side if the leds that are running down the center of the tank in a line. In this configuration | - - - |
