How do you do it? I used o be able o take better pics when I had a glass tank but this acrylic is killing me. Pictures are always distorted and color is horrible on my iPhone pictures. I try to adjust the light setting, brightness and focus but still nothing comes out looking decent.

I've seen good iPhone pics. I don't know how it was accomplished.

My 'nice' camera can't handle the blue at all. Looks like your pics. :( My cheap point and shoot does a better job.

I've read about LEDs being an issue because the spectra is so tight.

GoPro makes red filters for shooting UW. Makes sense to filter out some blue.

Maybe I'll use my life proof case and get inside shots that used to work well.

You could try shooting without the blue lighting, if possible. Also, I would check out some YouTube videos or some blogs/articles about becoming an iPhone camera pro. You can really get some amazing shots with that phone with a little know-how.

So I got this awesome aqua euro usa classic 135 protein skimmer last night for $20 and I was so excited to set it up when BAMMM!!!!!!! I drop it and the return pipe breaks off of the body! I am so mad at myself right now but what can I do! I super glued it back on before I left for work today and will leave it to dry until wednesday. I cant believe I did that, at least I didnt pay the full $250+ for it lol.
