The potential code issues aside make sure that you are not fooling yourself by powering that assembly with a power source that is not sufficient.
It is powered over my USB port.

I know that it is sufficient, I recently made a sketch with my MEGA that had 15+ LED's that would scroll in a marquee and the delay could be adjusted from a trim pot (all the way down to a ~10ms delay).

I also ran a servo off of the mega while doing that, and 3 more trim pots that could adjust the colour of an RGB LED.
