Can you share how you mounted the or3 bars to yours? I will be doing the same thing shortly, but mostly to cover a tank that's 36" front to back

can you post of pic of that? I've been thinking about adding some more blue (not completely thrilled with the blue/marine blue native to the fixture. Seems somewhat purple compared with what I'm used to.

Sure. I basically hammered the provided attachments in to shape:
I have one on each side. If you only have one you’re going to need to add some counterweight since it will make the fixture tilt.

Hey, all!
I just bought a brand new (albeit open box to check for contents) 24" Aurora but I am having one heck of a time with it.
Can anyone here tell me how the light should turn one once everything is installed correctly and plugged in? The manual and online videos from CoralVue say the light should start on its own. Does this mean all the bulbs and LEDs turn on or just that it has power you can access via Futura?
The reason I ask is because my PSU is running the green indicator telling me there is power, but upon plugging in the unit as directed the LED panel flashes blue for a split second and then...nothing. T5s dont power on either.
Any aurora owners with any ideas what may be wrong or what I'm doing wrong? I'm so scared I just sunk a bunch of my savings down the tubes as I'm not the original owner so I don't think the warranty applies to me

If you don’t have a Samsung device you can’t use the Aurora app. If that’s the case download the futura app and you should be good.

I don't have samsung but I do use Android. I have the futura app on my android device as well as Windows 10. For some reason neither are picking up the lights bluetooth signal. I'm starting to wonder if the light is even getting power? The PSU is working, but I'm getting nothing from the light. When its "powered on" for the first time after being plugged in, does anything actually light up or do the lights stay off until its controlled via the bluetooth? If its a bluetooth issue I'm less worried than if somehow the actual fixture is a dud.

Sorry If I missed it in this thread but does anyone have a good method for tearing down and replacing the battery in the Aurora V4? I think I can see the board with the battery mounted on the heatsink but i can get to it.

Pain in the rear. I tried to replace because unit wouldn't hold time when power went out. Used long tweezers to get under the lip of the panel but maybe didn't get it right because it still won't hold time. Was not going to go through the hassle again??
