How to fit two 250w mh and two VHO in a 20" hood?

I would like to use two se bulbs and two VHO for actinic. I'm having a hard time trying to find reflectors that will fit. I know I can find de bulbs but like the reflector options with se. Any help is welcome.

Thanks,
Will

I've got a 90 bowfront.... It's only 18 inches at the widest point... 12 inches in the ends... And 48 inches wide..... I use 2 250w... DE.... And 2 T5 HO.... I had to put the 2 T5's all the way to the back... Then the 2 MH in the middle closer to the front..... Never had problems... I know it's a little different than what you are looking at doing but maybe it's an idea that will help out....
