Share your light settings, phone,.... the fts appears to be the best. Wondering if close ups are not the best for this one

Looks pretty good. Nice tank! When I ran radions I found turning the intensity to 100% for the pictures helped a ton.

I ran the radion XR15 Blue, all LEDS at 100% except for red and green at 22% and 70% intensity. I think the close up could be better if I can keep my hands steady.

thank you. I will try that next time, where do you have the LED’s set at? I will have to play around with different color combinations.

I no longer run them. I had the G5 blue xr30s. I ran AB+ @ 60% output with diffusers on a 16" tall tank. I ended up selling them because they were just too blue for me.

For the few minutes I was shooting I'd turn everything 100% @ 100% intensity for day shots. I'd do the same for all blue channels, set them 100% intensity for all blue shots. I did have to use an orange filter for those though.

Did you you use the yellow gel filter option on the app? Putting your phone a a tripod will help too.

Tank looks great! This is motivating me to get shots of my own tanks.

I second both using as much available light as possible and a tripod, especially when taking "macro" shots. If you are just using your phone, you can get something like this:

and a cheap tripod.

yes I used the yellow gel filter. I’m looking into getting a tripod and an actual orange filter for iphone. I’m just happy to see the corals growing and actually showing some good colors.

I heard these are good:
https://www.coralvue.com/icecap-clip-on-photo-lens-kit

but i honestly have never used them. I just got back into the hobby months ago and when I used to take photos years ago, I would take the photos into photoshop or lightroom to correct the white balance.

You can fine tune it in WB as well.

Get the orange gel like coral vue to go over your lens to get that nice color pop when the blues are on and white are off.

Here some sample with orange filter with blues on.
