If I were to add in the LED blue strip to a t5 fixture is there a specific wattage or brand of LED strips to use?

I went with a strip of ReefBrite XHO's for my frag system. Bought it from Bayside Corals.

Then buy a used T5 4 bulb fixture (?$), new bulbs (~$100-120), and look online for a retrofit kit for blue LEDs.

Default Tec Light

I have a 4 ft 4 bulb Tec Light Fixture (no noisy fans but well vented) I bought from J & L a few years ago for $175. before taxes. I will sell it for $75.00. I hope it fits - not sure with 90 cm being 48"
