I haven't really posted any pics of my reef tank in the last 10 or so months since i started it because the colors are so awful with iPhone pics. These are my first tests with an orange clip on filter i bought in a set off Amazon: http://a.co/1Q6ecs8 . I took a short video as well that I may post after i work with it a little.

Sorry, no FTS...

What is it? Like a clip on colored filter?
Yes, it's a graduated orange filter that you can rotate to adjust how much orange is used. I don't understand all the ins and outs, but apparently the orange filter removes a lot of the blues so that the iPhone sensor can take more accurate pictures of an actinic reef tank. The pictures are a lot closer to what you would see in person than they would be without the orange filter.

I use a pair of orange safety glasses that I got from Amazon. When I want to take a picture I just hold the glasses over the lens of my phone's camera. The orange filters out the blue lights and allows the colors to really pop. I like to put on the glasses and look at the tank with my blues at 100%.
