ISO 5-6 ft Halide combo

I'm currently running a 6 bulb 48in Nova Extreme pro with ATI bulbs. I'm extremely pleased with results from it but once I upgraded to my 125g it caused dead spots on the sides and I'm looking for a more even light. I'm currently off setting it with Led strips but I'm starting the transition to an SPS dominate tank and would really like to find a dual halide/T5 combo setup. Since I have a center support so a triple halide wouldn't be the best choice.

I know the debate on halide vs quality LED's. Id be open to possibly purchasing Hydras or Radion's if the price was right.

I would also be interested in trading my current light or a 29 HQI complete Nano setup if anyone was interested.

Let the debates begin......

What are the dimensions of your 125?

72 x 18 x 21

That might be tough with only 2 halides.
I would say get 2 36" t5 fixtures. End to end

i've debated going that route also. Thats why I was looking for a halide T5 combo. My rock work is set with two structures so a halide over each with T5's full length might work well. Dual T5's would also do the trick. I debated LED's but realistically with the length I would need too many.

After really looking at the height I realize my canopy is only about 6 in above the water. So even if I got Halides they would be sitting about an inch off the water considering most halide fixtures are about 5in tall so now I'm kind of at a loss. I really dont want to remove the canopy.
