I know a yellow filter makes a blue tank look better. But what ones are being used?

This is an untouched photo and a photo using a #765 Lee Yellow filter on my G20 cell phone.

I want to buy a filter for my Nikon P900 and my Olympus Tough One (used in the tank). But before I buy a sheet of #765 Lee Yellow and make filters, I wanted to see what others are using.

Thanks.

Not sure if you can translate - but my IceCap lens kit for iPhone seems to be just right - makes things look like what my eyes see. It comes with a '20K' and a '15K' filter. The 20K looks the best, most natural. 15K makes the corals look a little surreal.
 
For your camera, I recommend Tiffen 85B. Works well for me.


For your phone, my favorite is Orphek's clamp on filter. I've tried knock offs, but they aren't as good.
