I have a 400 Gallon glass aquarium 72Lx36wx37d and i was wondering what kind of led lighting i would need for this I have found a couple fixtures on ebay 2pc Dimmable LED Aquarium Light Salt Water Fishtank Hard SPS LPS Soft Coral Reef | eBay , 24? Programmable Hard SPS LPS Soft Coral Reef Aquarium Light for Salt Water Tank | eBay , 3pc 16" 120W Full Spectrum Dimmable Marine Reef Fish Aquarium Coral Grow Light | eBay , and LED Quad 72" 3W Timer Ready Aquarium Light 112X 3 Watts Marine Coral Reef 6 Ft | eBay I was looking more into the last one because of price but if needed i can afford the other ones. Recommendations are mentioned for fixtures of similar price.also i plan to have corals

That's an extremely large tank, are you planning on sps, lps? Either way your going to need a lot of light for any kind of coral tank. Most LEDs are only good for about 2 foot x 2 foot spread then you add in 37 in depth and your almost having to break out snorkeling gear!!! For the money diy might be the way to go. Just my thought
 
Look at Fathom Led . I purchased them for a anemone tank 4 foot by 8 foot tank is shallow 18 inches lights 36 inches from top of water.With the correct optics there light will work for you.
