Any suggestions on lighting for a shallow 112 gallon? Specs would be 3' wide/5' long/1' deep. Thanks! oh yeah. it would be a SPS/LPS frag tank
 
Probably some Current Orbit Marine Pros or similar. Maybe the older non XM Build My LEDs.

We have a 60x36x16".

Running a regular Current Orbit Marine and a 60" Cheap Chinese LED (3 watt drivers) and they seem to work well. The Cheap Chinese LED has 60 degree lens, so a bit disco bally.
 
My shallow reef is 4'L x 2'W x 14"D and I had 2 OceanRevive T247 fixtures. I recently got a hardly used ReefRadiance Lumentek Pro which is 32 " long and it does a good job as well. I just got a good deal and I like the sunrise/sunset ability over just on/off timers of the T247. BTW, mine has a very mixed and changing complement of corals, fish and critters. The prize of the tank is the 20 very colorful and fluorescent rock flower anemones.
 
I like the T247 fixture and its not too expensive either since I need to buy 3 of whatever I end up going with!
