Hello all,

just wanted to say hi and show you guys what I’ve got started. It’s a fluval 13.5 been running about 3 months or so. I had a 75 gallon bow front that ran for years but got broke down and sold. After a few years with no tank I decided to start this one. I’ve never run a nano tank but so far seems to be doing well. Still trying to figure out how to take decent photos that aren’t overly blue and show actual color any tips would be appreciated. These were taken on an iPhone 12 Pro.

Welcome to Nano-Reef.com.

 

If you can turn down your blue LEDs and/or turn up your whites, it will help with standard pics.  However, you really should shoot in RAW mode so that you can actually adjust the white balance of the photos.

Hey welcome to the Evo 13.5 club 🍻

 

for balancing out the blue spectrum, cheap orange filters for photography are great. Here’s one but there are lots of other options.

Welcome to the club!  
 

Orange filter is the easiest thing to get.  It just attaches to the phone.   Lots of different options out there.
