Finally hit the one year mark on my 120gallon system. Lots of hard work and lots of rewards along this journey. I cant wait to see what things will look like after this next year.

Just my Samsung galaxy S21, camera in pro mode and laying in a port hole that I floated in the tank.
I'm still playing around with how to get the best pics from my Samsung phone. I've tried Pro Mode, the Coral Cam app, and the Ice Cap 20k clip on filter. So far, the clip on filter works the best for me but your Pro Mode shot is great!

Thanks it takes a bit of playing with to get it right. I also try to take pics at mid day when the tank is in a "white" daylight part of the spectrum. Blue light throws off everything in the camera and imo you need a filter to shoot with lots of blue light. I turn iso all the way down, dial the speed back and move the white balance to where all the colors match what I am seeing. I play with the speed a little more after that to get the photo brighter or darker. That's been working the best for me.

It's one of my favorites in the tank still! Its hard to pick up the yellows that the deeper parts of the branches and base. I need to try and get some better shots of this one soon.
