What is your phone photo settings? I have the same Lens kit and the photos STILL show-up blue...

I'm just using the camera's phone , without any additional settings.
I think that maybe it's related to my ratio of blue-white T5 bulbs.
I'm using 5 coral plus , and 5 blue plus.
Maybe the white bulbs "help" to clear the images for the camera.

This one also was taken with orange lens

I wish my iPhone 15 plus would take pictures like that.

I think it’s your bulbs on why it doesn’t washout to blue. Not the phone

Yep ,the T5 bulbs definitely helps with clarity and overall appearance

 

[Yanir34]

Also, I'm using 50/50 of blue-white ratio

In that reflection pic though it does look like an additional actinic and purple plus may have been swapped in since then :thinking-face:

 

[Yanir34]

Bulbs combination:
4 blue plus
2 actinic
1 kz coral light (full spectrum)
3 coral plus

It’s a very nice mix. You get the LED pop without LEDs. Must be those actinic tubes. I haven’t tried them yet.

You right .
The actinic bulbs also gives extra paunch to color , and overall looking.
The T5's are for the core spectrum, the let's are for the shimmer and some more paunch and contrast

 

[Yanir34]

I love the coverage of the T5's.
Growth patterns looks natural.

new folks to reefing- this is the result of having a passion for the hobby and sticking through the good and bad.

Well done! Love your lighting approach.
