Trying to Find HIGH End MH Lighting in Five Foot Length Fixture
 
I've got the five foot long Outer Orbit 2x250/4x54. While I'm generally satisfied with it, the MH distribution could be A LOT better. (In fact, I have a pair of 150 watt JBJ viper clamp-ons on the back wall of the tank, too, to fill out the ends/back corners of the tank.) So, I'm considering getting a better system.

I like the looks of the Giesemann Infiniti series, but it doesn't come in five foot length. (PFO has option for custom setup, but it looks industrial.) Any suggestions for high end lighting in five foot length? I looked through the selection of lighting available from Aquarium Specialty and didn't find anything.

The MH's inside the 4' Giesesmann Infiniti are width adjustable. This feature is unique to this fixture AFAIK.

"One of the most fascinating features of the INFINITI beside the extraordinary light efficiency is DYMAX - a dynamic light adjustment with which allows you to move the HQI lamp and reflector to precisely focus the light on a specific area within the aquarium.

With just one movement you can slide the reflectors along the body to achieve the correct balance of light for a particular situation or simply to avoid strengthening bars across the surface of the tank."

re the giesemann, yes, they are adjustable, but I would prefer the fixture to be as long as the tank for aesthetics.

I'll check out hamilton's stuff.

thanks
