Hi,

New variable
y = Sqrt[x/(1.2 10^-4)]
simplifies equation and taking into
account poles of the Tan function do the job:

eps = 10.^-12;
yy = Table[y/.FindRoot[y == -1/10Tan[y],
                  {y, k Pi-Pi/2+eps, k Pi+Pi/2-eps},  
                   MaxIterations->100,
                   WorkingPrecision->50],
        {k,0,500}];
0.00012#^2&/@yy

Have a nice day!

Mitja
