I'm using two lengths of SMD 5050 waterproof LED strips to supplement my DIY 10 watt multi-chip fixture. Works great as supplemental and dawn/dusk lighting. Ordered quite a few of the 5 meter reals thru eBay now with free shipping. Looks like the reels are now available for a reasonable price thru Costco. If you're not in a big rush & can wait for the eBay free shipping option, it's the best bang for your buck.
I've also ordered the lower power 3528 SMDs & higher power 5630 SMDs. The RGB versions with remote work a little differently between the 3528 & 5050 strips due to the arrangement of the 3 colours. RGB and/or single colour 5050s are probably the best bet for our application. The 5630s do not appear to be available as RGBs at this time, only a single colour of your choice. They are much brighter than the 5050s though.

I'm mostly trying to add purple and blue to the tank as my white LEDs in my DIY fixture are 6500k and very bright.
