Would this light be ok for halide supliment?

I am buying new bulbs for my halide fixture tomorrow. I am getting the XM 20k bulbs. I really like the way the 20k makes the corals look. I am however going to buy another light to supliment the white a bit. I am thinking about buying this light?

Are T5's ok? Think it would add some more light to my tank? My tank is a 46 gallon bow front with 2 150watt HQI bulbs over it. This fixture is so small that it will fit perfectly over the tank with the coralife aqualight halide fixture too? I think it will help offset some blueness from the 20k's?

Any ideas?

Thanks

I use t5 supplements but mine are for actinic blue, they are pretty bright but are drowned out when the hallides are on (175w 14k).
