Did you set the white balance using the custom WB (set with picture) or WB shift? You seem to have it spot on...wanna share you settings if you used the WB shift?

I used the Custom WB (with a picture) there was a white leather in the tank and I filled the frame with it and used that picture to set the WB. I don't know how to see the setting from that but I will look and see if I can find them. I have a friend who makes my pictures look like a kindergartners took them and he puts a white coffee can lid in the tank to take the picture for setting the WB.

I've learned a lot from him on taking underwater shots.

Thanks!

This is a white-balance corrected shot b/c we run 12k bulbs

Actinic shot (uncorrected white balance)

Great looking tank, one question, what is the backround color of your tank, I can't decide between dark blue or black for my 120gal.

Its black. We love it, the overflow box and vortech's are black, and by painting the back black it takes the focus off of them and keeps it on the tank.
Thanks!

I am in utter awe of your fts, and those pink zoo's which look like they're literally glowing from within. I have a rebel XT as well and would just die to be able to take photos like yours!
