As an added note. I have a sps dominant tank and growth has been great and colors starting to pop since I’ve been watching stable low nutrients.

That’s a great set up, 2 fixtures surely give you great performance. A great amount of overlap can be had with the right mounting height reducing shadowed areas on the acros. I feel that’s important for acros, they grow up and branch more so than other corals and that shades themselves. Overlapping the two lights will certainly help in this area. Not only directly but I find a great amount of light bounces around off the glass and substrate.
