Adding par questions

[cww81]

I have a 6ft 125G aqueon tank with 2 cross braces. Right now I have 3 Radion XR15s on 100% generating about 150 par in the middle part of the tank. I'd like to raise this par enough to where I don’t have to run the lights full blast and get a mixed reef layout with lps lower in the tank and sps like acros higher up in the tank. I have a brand new XR30, should I move 2 XR15s together to simulate a XR30 on one side, the XR30 on the other side with the lone XR15 in the middle? Or should I just buy a t5 hybrid kit and use the 3 XR15s and keep the XR30 for a tank upgrade later.

Basically trying to add 100+ par to take off the stress of the radions and add more par in general.

Most par meters not accurate and you probably have enough light to grow what ever you want. with the 3 15's ,, With as shallow of a tank your lights should not have to be 100% dont play the par games, play what works, and most led users dont need half the power their lights produce im running 3 120W lights in 210g tank 30" deep and im running 6% blue and 1% white and have all my LPS growing like weeds again, rbta love it that low. at 60% nothing grew. So my suggestion to you is, what is it, that you think isnt growing good enough ?
