Ok I want to know how people get insane shots of their coral and stuff while still being able to keep the blue on and keep the fluorescent of the coral.

Can't help, I use a camera and am not a big fan of the "blue" look.

I’m going to try my camera today. I just want to see the corals how I see them all lit up

Most use an orange filter to keep the blue from being overpowering to the lens and adjust the white balance with this orange filter on, which can lead to some really eye-popping fluorescence shots, but isn't exactly true to the naked eye.

I myself prefer an amber filter, like blue blocker sunglasses, with the white balance adjusted without the filter first.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I can't live around ice. I found that out living in North Dakota for three years when I was a kid. :-)

Ahh smart. I have broken costa sunglasses I can take a Lense from. It’s blue tint on the front but more of a gray/ amber on inside

You can do it! Why does your profile say you are 36? So you can vote? ;Hilarious

I don’t stalk. I am just an information hound.

I don't stalk either...by the way your living room looks amazing, from the front yard.

Andrew's feet are super flat. Mine are like a ballet dancer. Even the doc was shocked that mine are so high arched and he got none of it!

They are down in a big flower pot. Cassie found them. I couldn’t get the camera low enough to show their faces. Problem is we have rain coming this weekend. I “think” I drilled a hole in the bottom of that pot though. I will keep an eye on them. I am waiting to get pecked in the back of my head by a nose-diving momma bird. ;)

One of my sons has the same problem. My wife and I both have a distinctive arch, son's footprint looks like Maury revealed Sasquatch was the father.

Since you said you would be using a camera, see if it will allow you to set the white balance. Basically, when you set the white balance, the camera uses a white object (submerged in your tank) to adjust the other colors, using white as a reference point. It creates a setting for taking pics in that particular light. It can be a pain on some cameras though. Further, if your camera allows you to shoot in RAW format, you can tweak the image colors further using image editing software. I am too lazy to do this myself though. Ha.
