Grow more SPS? You just need enough light to grown any SPS. People use antinic lighting with halide/LED mainly for consmetic/ supplimental lighting.

If your LEDs aren't stong enough to keep SPS ( which I am pretty sure they are unless they are LEDs from TV remote controllers) then adding T5s will not help you grow any...unless you add maybe 4 and then your system will be T5 with supplimental LED lighting

Might I suggest ATI superblue or some pink T5 for colour popping? I am assuming your LEDs alread have enough blue to do the job. Most do.
