    If space is what you are worried about, there are plenty of fixtures availble online for good prices that have both in them. I just recently purchased two 48" T5/MH combo fixtures. Each one comes with 2 T5s 54w, and 2 250w MH with 6 moon light leds, total of 620w. The 2 MH bulbs it came with are 15k, and the 2 T5s are Super Actinic. Total cost $239.99 a piece. I will probably be running these for the next 2-3 yrs until I can set aside enough cash for a full LED set-up. Once the fixtures arrive I will be posting pics of them on my upgrade project listed below.
