T5 + LED Fixtures, anyone know of any?

As title says, looking for a combo fixture... Can't find anything.
I liked this one but they went out of business

These are great and all, but i'm not trying to spend 1.5k on a light fixture for an 80g. lol

The one i posted would have been ideal. If only he had not sold the company and patent..

Pandora Hyperion S 145W On sale – from 20th April 2013. Order can be placed since 3rd April 2013 I actually found a price on these earlier this morning and I think they were close to $1000.00

I saw that, but it is only a 24" fixture which bothers me over a 40" tank

IF its in a canopy... why not just buy some retrofits and put them around the LED units of your choice? Thats what I did and it works great.

Going over a rimless tank :doh:

I was debating this but couldn't live with the mess.

Just build a rack and then retrofit T5's besides the LED units. Although I do not see why you honestly want the T5's if not to supplement deeper blue's and purples.

I very well may end up going this route.
None of the fixtures I have seen really make me think they are sufficient lighting for my intended use.

It will be simple, we will just make a metal rack that will hold the LED units and have enough space on either side to supplement with some retro fit T5's, easy...
