My images are blue

[Reefnsail123]

New to this. Looked for previous thread but all I found were complaints but no answer.

My tank lights seem fairly white to naked eye but when I take pictures with my phone you’d think I was running just actinics? Do I need to set up a special picture taking program on my Atlantik Gen 4 Compact?

Get a clip on orange light filter for your phone, makes all the difference

Quick solution is to get a filter. I got mine from amazon less than 30, it came with a few lens. Takes pretty good pictures.

With and without filter

I'm no expert however I believe that you need to look into getting some filters for your camera that take out the uv spectrum.

Ok. You guys are fast. LOL

Thanks for all the responses. Just what I need is another box delivered. “What is it honey?” “It’s a filter for my $1000 phone so I can take pictures of what has come in the dozen other boxes that have arrived over the last couple months!”

Aquarium cam app works good

Don’t know the lights adjustability but You can also adjust your lights to be high white spectrum, low blue spectrum. Problem solved no filters needed

If you have samsung go to pro mode slide the White balance bar all the way to the right. (10K)
Leave iso at 50 adjust shutter speed accordingly for exposure. Violet leds really scre with cameras. You should turn these off and also lower intensity on your lights while photographing. Or you could just get a clip on filter.

If you wanna get serious you could get a DSLR with tamron macro lense and one of these

If you have an iPhone just boost the warmth until it looks true to the eye.

It’s not perfect but it’s nice if you don’t have your polyp lab lens on you.

Turn off channel two and three of you’re trying to take pictures without any filters.

while waiting on your filter,

go to pro mode in your phone camera, turn it to 10k, viola pretty decent pics
