MH is strong. Adding another T5 is lighten up a bit more too. It depends. If you need just a slight more intense, extra t5 is OK.If you need alot of more intense, better upgrade to stronger MH watt.

when i run T5 with the mh , my tank is so bright , is it ok for the corals? or would it be better to just run mh and turn off the t5 when it is running ?

MH usually bright as seen with our eyes. MH light are belong to spot light category. Their shines are in spot form and not like t5, widespread. If your tank has no sps, and below 2ft depth and more than 1.5ft depth, best use with t5. SPS needs more intense light and flow.
