T5 Supplement or another AI Prime

[fishboy11]

Hey everyone. Wanted to see what kind of opinions I could get from people with experience using LEDs only, and supplementing with T5s. I have an SPS dominated Reefer 250 with 3 AI primes. I run a 12 hour photo period, with 2 hours of ramping on each end, and 4 hours of 16K and 4 hours of 20K. I am getting fantastic growth out of all SPS; and certain colors are very nice (mainly blue and green). I'm no light expert whatsoever; however, I am considering adding 2 T5 bulbs (ATI, not sure which 2 bulbs) to get better spectrum and bring out the reds, purples, and yellow. I am running nitrates slightly elevated (5 ppm) at the moment to aid in growth, and have read that this will turn yellows to green, which I am ok with for the time being. If anyone has any guidance or experience, I would love your input

Running 4 Primes over a Reefer 350 (although 1 is currently over a frag tank). I haven't had this setup long enough to really give advice, but tagging along to see what others think.

I am also contemplating adding a 4th Prime, but from reading, I feel like adding 2 full spectrum t5 bulbs may be more beneficial than additional LEDs, which is why I'm curious to see what everyone's thoughts/experiences are.
