Exposure is 1/80
F4.5
ISO-200
White balance is zero

WB Zero???
Dont know what WB your talking about, but it should be set a little higher than that. Somthing like 10k.

Here is what you do.

Find something white inside your tank. If there isn’t anything, place something white in it at least midway down. Take a picture of the white object. Continue to play with the white balance settings until what you see is the same white as the object. That should solve your problem.

Thanks alot for the help. It seems the more you know about taking pictures of your tanks, the less you really know.

Also, try the other white balance. For one, test out how the tungsten WB.
