Active monitoring of basement tank

[dooner248]

I have a 210 saltwater reef tank in my basement and I want to set up a camera so I can see what is going on when I am not downstairs. I tried zmodo and recently a Neye3C camera. Problem is where to place/mount the camera and whether a zoom is adequate. Even more importantly is the blue light of the tank lights drown out the fish colors. That part of the hobby is what appeals to me. I will not be using it for motion tracking or recording purposes though a screen grab would be nice. I would like to hear or see what you have done.

I use Arlo security cameras for other purposes and plan to have one on my tank to detect issues when not there.
