Ya, those little LED's would be easily drowned out by your main lights. If you want your colours to "pop" more they a higher colour temperature bulb (like 14,000K) or try some of the specialty bulbs like the Fiji Purples, etc. I'm not a T5 guy (Halides or Bust!) by I have been impressed by some of the tanks that have a nice mix of T5 bulbs. Poke around this site a bit to see what combos people are running. The Grizz has a pretty nice looking set-up; take a look at what he has (there is a T5 bulb thread that started recently and he's got some info there).
