Is this good advice??

Hello!
I currently have a 15 gallon fluval flex with a stock LED strip for lighting
Tank is about 3 months old with green bay packer zoas, xena, clowns, one royal gramma, cleaner shrimp, live rock, and 1mushroom. Ive noticed my zoas open and close occasionally. PH-8.1, SAL 1.026, ammonia 0.50 ppm. I was told to improve my lighting to get a SECOND LED stock fluval light. And that having TWO LED stock lights would help for my coral in the future and at the moment. Good advice? Thoughts?

No. not good advice in my opinion.

Not sure the dimensions on that tank, but an AI Prime or one of the smaller 165w Black-Box LEDs would be better suited to grow some coral

I would agree that better lighting could be worth while. However, I would not get another stock light. I would opt for an AI Prime HD. It would work BEAUTIFULLY on that tank.

I agree. I run a single AI Prime HD on my Fluval Evo, works perfectly and I have much higher demands than you. With the app, you can tune it up or down to your needs. It's really nice.

I have an AI Prime on my Red Sea Max Nano (20g cube) and it works well. I just have nems in that tank, so I don’t know about SPS etc, but googling and setting a “program” for it is pretty nice
