adding lights to existing tank question

I have a 55 gal with 130 w PC that has been running for almost a year. I have one zoa colony that is growing moderately and 1 Finger Leather that is growing nicely. I want to add to the lights to get faster growth and was thinking of adding a small 54 wt T5 so I could one day put some LPS in the tank. But the 54 wt T5 and 120 PC still won't be enough to grow LPS so should I just add another 130 PC?

SC I think the T5 would help but honestly here is how I "think" I would progress.

If you're truly wanting to move up don't waste your money doing it little by little. Go ahead and plan long term and save your money and do it right. If you move up to a full T5 fixture you'll ultimately save $$ on just bulb replacement alone and be able to have a ROCKING LPS and softie tank :)
