I was looking to add leds to my current t-5 setup. I was looking at the Actinic Supplement Kits from rapid led.

My question is since I will be building it my self is there any other color leds but the royal blue leds I should add in?

Thanks for the info

Two whites if you want an aquablue plus look, provided you are using 24 emitters.
 
Ensure the Royal Blues are 450nm

Big Difference from 450 to 460 nm Royal Blue

Also a couple 410-420nm wont hurt...

Binning is huge and is consequential to the overall looks of your tank.
