Need help figuring out best options for LED lighting.

My tank just finished cycling. I have a 48" Orbit Marine LED and a 48" Aquaticlife Edge LED (don't ask ). My tank is 120" x 30" x 24". Have not decided what direction I want to go for corals, but I don't want to limit myself, like I already started to do.

Would like something that has multiple options (programmable, dimmable,...), just not sure what all of the options are.
 
I don't have anything in mind right now for a budget. Since it would be multiple fixtures of any brand, I figured I could spread out the spending on lights.

Forgot to mention that I would like something that is able to sit on top of the tank - wife refuses to let me hang lights from the ceiling.
 
You can also look at ReefBrite.com
They have many option to choose from
led with metal halides / leds by them selves and leds with t5 .
Plenty of choices if you need help give them a ring

5 Photon 24-V2 would be a great fit for that tank, they all program on the same wireless controller and can mount on the tank.
 
I run 4 black box LEDs on my 4ft tank and couldn't be any more happy! I have them horizontal and evenly spaced and stead of running them end to end. This allows no shading and full lighting coverage! If I had a 6ft tank I would run 6. Looked them up for someone earlier today and what I use is currently on eBay for $89. I'm growing acros on the bottom of my 30in high tank.

You have pics? I would love to see the set up
