Adding an LED strip to the top of my Fluval Evo 13.5; 440 nm vs 445nm? does it matter?

Like the title says, I am trying to add an extra led strip to the top of my fluval evo 13.5 to make the coral pop a little more. 
Eventually(long time from now) moving to an AI Prime but want a temporary little extra punch but keep setup looking as stock as possible. 

 

So I am looking at these two strips....

Does the difference in wavelength even matter?

Thank you in advance for any advice 🙂

Sorry I am just now seeing this @Tony Nano ... I'll make sure to take some pics tomorrow and post them for you 🙂

Just bumping to get your attention lol, I’d love to see pics! Not only of the tank with this but also how it’s set up, thanks!

I simply used silicone to attach it to the ridge next to the "OEM Light" holder

Now this won't give you a ai prime look or probably even as good as one of those amazon "black boxes", but it will definitely make it your tank less white/yellow and allow you to continue using the included hood.

I definitely will be adding another 1 on the other side.
