Default Aquaticlife 4 bulb led mod

SOO I'm trying to increase the amount of daylight I get out of my fixture and can't afford to upgrade ATM so I'm wondering if I take out a blue bulb ( aquablue+ x2, actinic+ and an old blue that I'm replacing soon) and add another day bulb with blue LEDs would that work well? Will I still get that pop? What LEDs can I use? Will just store bought blue led strips work?

We have an order in for these AquaRays. I think thats what you are looking for. Depending on your tank the Marine Blue or Reef Blue should give you some nice color.
