Little help from the experts please.

I've been up and running for about a year with an IM 30g nuvo. I have a few sps and a few LPS two of my sps are doing fine the other that cost 150 is not doing so well. I've never lost a coral. I have a kessil a360we. I think I need to add more light. The sps thats not doing so well is only doing bad on the underside. I like the radions. Would a radion xr15 suffice or should I go xr30. Also should I leave the kessil on as supplemental lighting. Or should I just buy another 360 since that's what my corals are use to and have two kessil on there??? Any help wuld be appreciated.

That Kessil should be more than enough. Have you checked your calc and alk?

Yup Check them about every two weeks my Calc MG and alk never change I dose aqua vitro products by seachem

what does "bad on the underside " mean? Any pics ? Is it brown ? Before I added a 2nd LED to my tank, some of my SPS were brown where they were shaded.

It means the side that's shaded is dead and the side that isn't is vibrant green.

Can you post a pic of the tank with the light on (preferably during the peak of the daylight photoperiod)? Also, can you post a pic of the coral?
