If you decide to go with a couple T5 strips instead they shouldn't be drowned out by the halide. I have a 400w halide and I can turn my T5 strips on and off and clearly see the difference. While that will help add a little pop with blue plus bulbs and also fill in some shadows it's not going to pop like an LED strip. I just ordered a Reefbright LED strip to add some more pop to my tank , they get great reviews but are not cheap. Tru lumen also makes an LED strip but they don't put out near the output that the Reefbrights do.
