I have a 38 gallon sps tank with 2 rapid led Corona lights, I am getting really nice growth but have a little bit of shadowing. My tank is only 12 inches wide so dont have a lot of room. I am thinking of adding one coral plus t5 to help with the shadowing. Just want to get some options on it if it's worth it or not thanks

My two cents......two of those fixtures over 38 gallons is a ton of light. How high off the water do you have the fixtures? My thought is that if too close to the water, you're not getting enough scatter.
I'm also not familiar with those fixtures, but in looking at pictures, they appear to have lenses.....try popping off some of the lenses on some of the LED's and see what you get. I'm running two Apollos and on Mars Aqua, and I've pulled the lenses off of them just so that I wouldn't get "spot-lighting."

I have them at 12 inches and they are set at whites and blue at 40%, violet at 40% and red and green at 20%. The shadowing is not bad, I have the bulb just wondering if its worth buying a dimmable fixture. From what I have read people are getting better colors and growth but they are adding 2 or 4 T5s not much info out there about adding just 1
