Would one t5 HO bulb make a difference?

My 60g cube currently has a kessil 360w and 160WE. I am still a little dissapointed in coral growth and am considering adding more supplemental lighting.

Would one t5 HO bulb make any visible difference or do I need more? Thanks.. very new to t5

Most ballast power at least 2 T5s, so at a minimum to make a difference, I'd add 2 T5s.
