So I bought these cheap colour correction flash gels for $11



it is amazing the difference - and honestly it was nice to have a large selection as some corals (like my frogspawn) looked washed out with some filters but almost 100% accurate with others

just wanted to share in case someone was looking for a budget friendly option .
