I have a 400 gallon reef tank. 8 foot long 2 feet wide 38 inches tall I want to switch over to LED lighting. I need some advice on a good system. Thanks

+1 wat type of reef tank... at 8ft long and 38 deep ur looking at some $$$
Id say at least 3 120w units... w/o optics and a reflector... i like evolutions.
if optics.... get 40-60deg optics and make sure to acclimate ur stuff to the new lights with the small degree of optics. Its not the brightness but the kelvin temp in the leds that spike in the blue and whites with no reds or greens or yellows...as would mhs or tubes.
