Right now I am running 3-400w halides, 20K on the sides and a 10K in the middle. I have an old oceanic 180 that uses a large pane of glass over the center of the tank for bracing, hence the 10K in the middle for the extra par. I tried using t5s for some actinic supplementation, but this did not work. I have a floating canopy so whatever supplemental lighting I go with is going to sit 14 inches or so off the surface of the water. I was thinking of going w/something like this:

as I way to add some blue to the middle of the tank. So .. for the LED guys, do you think these will have enough punch to offset the 10K? Thanks.
