For the Op. A quick think on color temprature.

This is not 20k, closer to 45+ and not really a temperature so much as as a narrow frequency 420 450nm. with NO other colors of the spectrum available to the Green and Red sensor (nice shot btw) note the overly saturated colors you mentioned. This is due to the RGB sensor trying to simulate R&G when there is little to none.

this as stated is 16k (btw WOW bro honing your skills I see)

this is quite likely closer to 20k with h a high spike in 440 range(as yellow is opposite in the spectrum not orange)

So to get a photo with no overly saturated colors like in Reeferfoxxs pics is pretty much impossible. But still a totally cool pic.
Filters directly remove a specific frequency or range of frequency . The Lee filters Sabellafella is using actually has that data marked on it in the dozen or so Swatches I have from them Roscoe and tiffen.

All that being said, when your playing with the filters choose one that is the exact opposite of the light you have. A 420-440nm (royal blue)led is going to need an orange red or when combined it's Amber. and so on.
If your going for a more realistic pic Like Sabellafella's youll actually need to add spectrum or have it available in the light, not so much as only remove(filter) it. (so you need to change the led ratio to less blue)

@Sabellafella fyi on a dslr or film camera a glass filter that color(CTO) is an "85" 85a or 85b. Usually pretty cheap as it was really for film and shooting in extreme blue (ocean and indirect sun lit valley 10 to 30k).
But very handy for a lower end dslr that wont take true color temps above 15k, or a high end diggital Cinema camera in a valley or ocean.
Glass yellow filters are also pretty common and cheap too as they are used in black and white photograpy. and yes you can stack them to create amber. red too, but red is usually too a dense filter.

Bro you reef squad bro lololol. I was looking at the orange lens caps for a while now. There like 70 bucks and prob will end up buying one sooner or later. Dude nomatter what i do, i cannot take pictures under reefbrite actinics without a straight dark orange filter. Pictures are way to exaggerated, and yea i guess its a good thing in a way but With those 1/2 lees, they come out with deadon realistic photos under my lighting. A buddy of mine took some meter to measure my lights with and without the lee, and it came from 16k down to 12 with it. So @PupChow, if thats what your looking for, the lee are 6$ and are worth it. Love your videos bro

$70??????!!!!
Th screw on filters should be $5. It's the same color as the lee. It's old school stuff.

There's even a handy chart. The difference between the 85 85b 85c is more density.like the half quarter and full lee orange.
It even shows the spectrum it filters.

For the average user and phone pics. Go with the gel or sunglasses

Also try the ProCamera app. It's not perfect, but it goes a pretty long way.

And now my wife will think I've truly lost my mind. Ordering orange lenses so that I can take pictures of the aquarium.

Gonna give the 85b a go, it's been driving me crazy trying to get the pictures to match what I'm seeing. Thanks for explaining the RGB part, it's obvious now why most of my pictures were coming out so dark.

Do what I do and just patiently explain that you have.
If you use the filter and manually adjust the white balance until you find the sweet spot. May also work ok on auto WB

Thank you so much guys! I didn't realize all these new posts until I logged in again today. Between the time I picked up some gel filters and experimented, the photos came out way better but they do indeed get a bit blurry, I suppose that is the trade-off. The color is still not completely natural probably due to what salty mentioned, but this is already way better than what I had before! Thank you again! I think I need to re-read this thread to fully absorb everything...
