With mitras your max footprint per light is pretty much 36x32 so given that you might want to consider going a little wider and little shorter so 108x30x24 works quite nicely for only 3 fixtures otherwise you're probably looking at 4 fixtures.

1/2" is way too light IMO for 10' tank as well, doesn't matter how you brace it.

Give Stu or Steve a call at Prairie Aquatics and Exotics in Regina. They have a display tank the same dimensions you're looking at, 120x24x24.
