Actinic blue LED Supplement for Nano Tank?

I have a Fluval EVO 13.5G tank with the stock lights and hood.The stock light is 14.5K white and not enough blue.

here is a picture of the hood/lights:

The hood has no covering so Im looking for a LED strip or something that I can attach to the plastic hood and offer a 453nm BLUE to the lighting.
Hopefully there are some powerful LED Strips or Blue lights that I can glue to the top of the plastic hood. Really need some powerful BLUE LEDs. Too much white in the tank and the corals do not pop in color.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes.. I'm looking at their reef bar blue 1ft lights but not sure if they are bright enough or if they can mount inside my thin plastic hood.
Are the blue reef bar led what you are referring too or their led strips?

Be careful with the extra heat generated by the LEDS
