i want to buy 4 of these 10"x10" led pannels they each include 16x 1w blue light and 16x 1w white. this will go over my 75g (48"x18"x21") and i want to keep sps/clams with great color from top to bottom. so all in all there would be 128 1w 50/50 leds
here is a pic: http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/1Som_Bidsome/2510.jpg

don't get those.
That same company has other kits that are much better. For the price of 4 of those pieces of garbage you can get 2 of these:
LED quantity: 119pcs x 1 Watt LED (71 White + 48 Blue)
LED configuration: BridgeLux 1w/LED
Color: White and Blue mixed, White: 14000K(14000-20000k),
Blue: 460nm
Dimension: 15.75” x 8.38” x 2.80” Or 400X213X71 mm
2" depth - 1537 Par
12" depth - 423 Par
24" depth - 182 Par
Yes they are 1w, but by adding so many to the array you get pretty good 12" par readings. The 24" par isnt to shabby either. Coral needs fall into the 200-600 par range. With 400-500 being the majority. So an 8-14" depth is going to be your sweet spot for these lights. My tank is 20" deep, and I dont keep corals near the bottom because of all the activity that goes on down there with the sand sifters.
One of the readers hear on the forums turned me to this company. Im getting 1 array later this week. If it is as good as he claimed it was, then Ill order 3 more.
