I have the infinia 190.5 tank is 2 years old. 75% ab+ 2 xr30 g6. I noticed my corals the one on an angle they start getting shaded and eventually die, i hate fragging corals at this size, what supplemental lighting i can add?

Tank dimension is 60.5" x 25.3" x 22.6"
 
You best bet would be to add a bar on the front and back and angle them in. The choice of bars is up to you and budget though. My choices would be either Orphek or Reefbreeders. Others may add AI bars, XHO, etc.

It takes more than a little shade to kill a coral.

Maybe the lighting can be improved, but IMO it sounds like there's at least something else going on. Lack of nutrients is a common cause of "shade problems", but other things are possible too. In a tank as old as yours, it's more likely nutrients.

Feeding can help if nutrient levels can't be raised. (It's usually easier to raise nutrient levels tho!)
