I also like the 15000 to 20000 k look

3 of them would give me 360 watts would that be enough

I was thinking about getting the kessil a360w but there to expensive around 340 per light and i would need 3 over my tank what should i do trying to not spend more then 350 for good leds to put over my tank

That's going to be a challenge but your best bet would be to watch the FS and buy used.

here is the misconception with light, watts is just a base guide line for light but that is just the amount of power that the lights consume, what you want is the facts, par and color wave length is what make the big difference.
but not to make a big deal of it, it all depends on your stock and what looks good to you might not be what looks good to your corals.
here is a short cut to fined good lights..........look at the specs. on high end led lights and just match as much as you can to cheaper fixtures and you should be fine.
whit 3 fixtures you would have to use 120 degree lens to get the spread on a 72" tank and then you lose the punch on deep, 90 degree lens gives you the punch, then you would need 4 fixtures.
