I don't take that good of pictures on my phone but I would recommend taking the picture while the lights are on white. When I do that they turn out more clear and the colors show up more

Crank up all lights/colors to 100%. 150W is nothing in photography. Add more light if possible.
Turn off all pumps/powerheads.
Turn off room lights - they may cause reflections on the glass.
Get a tripod and use the timer so your hands don't shake up the image.
Get pro level camera apps like Halide + Darkroom. They give you more control of color temperature.
Manage expectations.

You can buy lenses to put on the phone for reef photography. Polyplabs makes a good one:

Use the pro setting on your phone camera app if you have one and play with white balance until you find what you like.. i keep mine at 10000K. For other settings like temp, tint, saturation, etc i keep mine at default. or alternatively, use better camera apps like MaxxuM said.
