Adjust the white balance, warmth, tint, and blue tone is what I do.

White balance is before taking the picture, the rest are afterwards.

It's hard to adjust after the fact with so much blue in the photo.

The other thing you can do is turn off the blue lights and run only whites during the picture.

White lights? We definitely have a different idea of what makes a coral pop then!

Acclimating my Hellfire Corals corals. The mystery chalice colony is nice chunky orangey lump of coral goodness.

Awesome Steve! Hopefully I'll get mine soon.

No, she was asking for photographing. Blue lights wash the colors out. Keep in mind, I run super heavy blues all day everyday because I want my corals to glow.

Good-morning

Hey Nikki! I am extremely sorry about what you're dealing with. Tackle it, overcome it, and come out an even stronger reefer because of it.

I knew what you were saying, I just respectfully disagree that a coral pops better in a blue light pic. So much so that I dont even bother talking them.

All blues almost always

Pop! Pop!

Is that a reflection in the cat's eye? lol

That doesn’t prove nothing! I’m team blue ( I know that sounds weird coming from me CB but I’m not talking college football).

Hi John! Maybe I do a doodle of you cooking up a batch of good gumbo

Now that sounds like an awesome one! I look forward to it!

When was the last time you were in temps below freezing. ?

I'm pretty sure we had a freezing day or two last winter. Probably around January. I remember Christmas was like 78° last year.

 

[kingranch2003]

[kingranch2003]

Thank you so far so good hopefully it stays this way! But I don’t really know what to do now lol

I would get a heavy duty tote from Home Depot, Lowes, etc and use that as a sump until you can figure it out.
