Supplementing T5s with a strip LED?

[vlangel]

Hi, I need some advice. I have great health and growth in my 36 bowfront with a 30" T5 fixture, 2 daylight and 2 actinic bulbs. I have mostly LPS, a few softies and a crocea clam. What I don't have is colors that pop! If I added a True lumen 24" LED in deep blue would that give me the colors I want?

I added a couple strips of this to my nano to help with that. You could give this a shot as a cheaper alternative or trial to see if it gets you the result you are looking for. I use the same stuff for moonlight, and one section of it with 3 led is more than enough to cover my 8gal cube. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aquarium-44...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item416746abdf

I added LED's with my T5 and it worked out really well. Can't go wrong with the True Lumen.

Thanks Dauguy and Lucked out for your input. I think I will definitely add LEDs when I can afford it.
Luckedout, what size tank do you have and how many LEDs did you add?
