Coralife Aqua Light Pro Hanging Question

The mounting legs should have a small screw that you would tighen against the fixture. If for some reason this is missing I'm sure you could drill a small hole and use any appropriately sized screw to hold it in place

Hmmm, ok, thanks guys. I'll have to tinker with it a bit more, we fiddled with the screw that held the little "T" type bracket that slid into the groove and it didnt seem to tighten the legs. They flopped left and right too much for my liking. So much one fell out when we were going to move it to put it on top of the tank... Hmmmm.

That seems strange. When I tighten mine they snug up to the point that you can't move them by hand. Did the mounting legs and hardware come in a sealed bag? Perhaps they are the wrong size screws?

If all else fails I think I have the hanging kit for this fixture that I'm not using.
Let me know if you figure out a way to get it too work. If not I'm sure we can figure something out

Thanks Oxymoron, I think I'd be more comfortable hanging it. I bought the light second hand, and even though it appears basically brand new, there was not much hardware with it other than the legs, still in the bag, and thats about it.

If you dont have need for the hanging kit maybe I could buy it off you? You could just mail it, Im sure it'd take like 2 days to get here which is no big deal to save us the 1.5 hr drive. I can pay for shipping. Let me know.

Sounds good I will send you a pm when I get back from out of town. Should be home by friday. Ill give you the hanging kit for free minus shipping costs. I bought this light fixture for a great deal off of another canreef member and feel like paying it forward so to speak.
I love the look of the fixture with the mounting legs installed and may be able to scan and email a copy of the instructions when I get home.
Perhaps if anyone knows if the 4ft hanging kit translates over to the 6 ft fixture it may save us a bit of a headache.

Hey Oxymoron, just wondering if theres been any updates on the lighting kit? No rush really, just hoping to get the sucker hooked up in the next week or two. Thanks by the way.
