Led strips

Generally I would say no. By the time you have enough of the LED strips to acutally make a difference, you will have spent as much or more than what a good LED fixture (or MH/T5) would have cost

The LED strips are mostly for accenting existing lighting to get the desired color
 
I agree with north, take that money and put it into some better lighting over the tank.. the t-8's really are not going to grow alot for you...
