Well I think I have decided to keep my t-5 lights and just add 1 strip of LEDs. Would this work?

That's all I want to do. The Led strip should give you shimmer and the T5'sare more adjustable.

Sweet. Now one more question I think I will get a reef Brite strip 15" but do you guys think I should get blue, white, or 50/50?

Get the blue for sure! I just changed out my old PC's to 100% reefbrites. The daytime look is excellent but boy was I in for a suprise later when just the blues were on. The colors it brought out in my Ricordia dominated take were OUT OF THIS WORLD!

The blue is pretty sexy if I say so myself. If you're keeping T5 there's no harm in it. Having both sets gives you more variation in spectrum, it really isn't a bad choice. Do RB have 2 switches for the whites and blues?

Hmm ok then. I am a huge fan of the blue. I do the last 2 hours of light with just blue at night. Everything glows like it was a blacklight. Helps find corals too if a plug fell or you get new random growth on a rock.

Each Reefbrite strip has its own cord.
