Kessils as supplementation?

Hi all ,was wondering if anyone is using kessils to supplement their t5 set up's.I have a 6 bulb ati sun power which I will always keep growth and color are great,but the tank looks a little flat if you know what I mean.I saw a youtube video of a guy who had a t-5 set up and 2 a350w one on either end pointing in and it gave the tank a really nice shimmer something I would really love but can't get with t-5,so I just ordered a a350w from marine depot, had them on sale,why not!anyone done anything similar?what do you guys think?,pics would be great.

I did this on my previous 120 gal. Had the same ATI fixture and just added two Kessil 150. Tank looked great and there was noticeable shimmer.

I supplement my A350W Kessils with A150W Ocean Blue Kessils. They're great for their actinic spectrum. I position them so they're lighting from the opposite side of the reef, into the A350Ws.

Shadows, what shadows ?

They run an hour before and after the A350Ws..

SPS are loving the combo.
