How much light is too much?

I'm setting up a pair of 93 gallon cubes (30" x 30" x 24"). One will be a FOWLR and the other a reef. I purchased a 110 watt LED fixture (not dimmable) for the reef. It's got 55 two watt Bridgelux LED's. It's pretty bright but I'm getting some shadowing in the corners of the tank. I want SPS near the top but I like ricordea and zoanthids also near the middle and to the bottom. My question is should I add another of the same LED fixture to the reef or is it overkill? My girlfriend says buy it and if it is too much then use it on the FOWLR but that tank is still a month or so out and I rather use the money to finish the reef. Opinions? Anyone have two similar fixtures over a similar sized tank?
