Lighting question for my 96x30x30

[bc34]

I just finished cycling my new 96”x30”x30” tank. It will eventually be an sps dominant tank. My current lighting is a hybrid set up with 4 Radion XR15 Blue with two reef brite 48” x series quad strip led kits (2 xr15s mounted on each quad fixture)Fixtures are mounted 9.5” above the tank.

My question is would it be an over kill on par to move up to 4 XR30 blues to replace the XR15s.
I don’t want to waste par but don’t want to have any limitations on lighting.

Not overkill other than electrical consumption and will benefit coral

Awesome, I want to make sure I am doing what’s best for the coral. Thank you for your response.

I am running 5 XR30 pro over my 72" tank, lots of room to adjust as the corals grow.
