I've found it's all about white balance under the LED's. Had to take a picture of a white card in the tank and reset the white balance around that. It made a huge difference, stopped the super blue saturation. I've been using our Canon SLR that's prob 9 yrs old with Sigma Macro lens (12 yrs old) and getting pretty decent shots. I'm just learning though.

Super random, but could you ID the pink/green zoa in the bottom left? I have one that looks very similar but I wasn't given an ID. Thanks

It's a "helms deep" from Unique Corals. Grew super fast, went from 1 polyp to 5 in about 2 months.

Honestly I use my iPhone 5s and get some alright shots but investing in a nice camera isn't me I would rather buy a couple of frags or a fish or two!! IMO my phone does fine!!

Anti- gravity generator. Screws into a standard Par 38 floodlight fixture from home Depot. Really makes the flying fish unhappy though.
