@bubbaque the porthole had a $5 orange filter ... I had to try just to get some juicy orange filter all blue scammer pics.
What porthole are you using

Very nice, how much are you dosing?
4 Drops of Aminos. Using CalRx I don't really see any difference with Coral Essentials at all. The only thing I do notice a difference with is the Aminos. So far that's all i'd no question recommend to everybody that DOESN'T already dose trace. If I weren't using a Calcium Reactor (which doses ALL major and minor trace elements already) I might see a difference.
If you are using a doser, I would recommend ATI Essentials above everything else. The ATI Essentials is so good I still consider going back and forth once in awhile.
Avast Marine Porthole, for the overly colorful pictures I'm using the yellow lens they sell with it.
Thanks sir, I have just ordered one with the filter and iPhone mount. Top down pictures are my favorite and this will help a ton

I find yellow or amber filters bring out great detail in the blues that my iPhone cannot focus on. Overall, though, the color just seems off. I have expertise with color correction in my work and I feel I could get it right if I could dial in the color myself. As in design my own filter. I feel I can get pretty accurate correcting in Photoshop if I can just get good detail in the original photo.
My iPhone through my amber tinted sunglasses does a decent job
I’m really looking forward to the porthole just to kill the glare of the leds when taking top down shots

The porthole still has a lot of glare unless you angle it or cover some of it.
Slightly better pic. I struggle to get good full tank shots, hardest picture to take.

I actually find pics of bubble algae to be pretty. The texture is interesting. Some of Rakie's pics were pretty with the green pearls and pops of brilliant color.

In the mid 90s my standard 55 gallon tank had a small patch of bubble algae. It never spread staying contained kind of like a coral, the bubbles slowly growing large on the rock. It was beautiful and I did not even realize back then it was a nuisance.
