MH/T5 Combo lights

Ok at the risk of sounding like an idiot... what manufacturers make and sell these types of fixtures. I need one in 60 inch. The only ones I am finding via google are Oddysea brand.

Seen here:

I know all about Oddysea. It seems you either get a good one or a lemon. I have used them in the past, with success, but with this new tank, I really want something I can rely on. Obviously if I wind up with the Oddysea, the first thing I am doing is swapping out the T5's for AIR, and the MH for either Ushio or Phoenix 20k hqi bulbs.

I appreciate your sage wisdom, oh wise ones.

I don't think anyone else makes a 60" MH/T5 combo fixture.....but the Giesemann fixtures are the best on the market and their 48" will work just fine on a 60" tank: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/spectra-metal-halide-t5-fixture-giesemann.html

If it has the ability I'm not against using a 48 inch light. It would only have 6 inches on either side so it would look just fine.

What is your opinion on the oddysea lol.

Well I just became a dealer for Oddysea, so for that price I cxa afford to try one out.
