Ive currently got an ati 6 bulb t5ho fixture over my 90 reef tank and i am looking into supplementing some leds. Im striking out in google for some good led supplements or led strip lights to supplement with my t5 without breaking the bank. Can i have some suggestions and maybe some pictures of peoples tanks with led supplements to t5

What's your budget? A solderless led strip kit from rapidled would give you probably one of the higher quality affordable options.

Forget budget, what's your goal?

A 6 bulb T5 fixture should be able to do anything you need it to. (Except behave like LED's.)

"Pop" doesn't really mean anything, but I assume you just want brighter florescence?

A different combination of bulbs should help. Can you tell us what combo you're using now?

There's a strong set of arguments for switching to LED's altogether, so maybe that's worth considering to achieve the same goal?

It all depends what you want, but you can literally build a new LED fixture with the same plan I used for around the cost of a new set of T5 bulbs.
