If you are using your camera on your phone... then go download an app... It’s free... Search for reef tank pic. It just uses your phone, but it gives you a filter that helps with the blue lights.

also if you can with your lighting... turn more white lights of while taking the pic

Also, try and take photos with little to no ambient room light to prevent reflective glare and distracting backgrounds.

I've looked for an app many times. Never found anything decent. What are you using ?

I may have searched “aquarium pictures... it’s called Aquarium Cam. It won’t give you world class photos, but it is definite improvement when the blue lights in your tank are high.

If you are new welcome!
I've found that using the pro mode on my S10+ (my old S6 was great) adjusting white balance and shutter speed helps a lot. If your cell has a similar mode that's what I would suggest, play with those settings to see what works best for your situation.

If you have a white balance on your phone it will make all the difference

It’s just a matter of selecting the correct settings for the equipment your using and also you can use basic editing software which can greatly improve the final picture
