Full Tank Shot

[Wilson]

Finally caught a full tank shot I'm not too embarrassed to share. Both of their merits.. but as a softie tank, it's kind of destined to be pretty monochromatic. What do you guys like? I'm leaning towards white.



Never could achieve the color I wanted though. Aiming for those rich af reds like this guy. If y'all know the secret, please share.

I think it looks fantastic either way. What do YOU like?

Top pic gets my vote. Beautiful tank either way!

They both look great. But I lean more to the 1st one.

Great tank.
I recommend white and blue during the day followed by blues only in the evening so you can enjoy the colors and the florescence at night. If your controls allow.

If you place a white or grey card in the tank and use it to set the white balance, the pictures will look more like what you see. Not all cameras can do this. Purple plus t5 bulbs also have more red in them and might also work.

T5 blubs...ATI Coral + and Purple +

That is what I just did with additional light.

Looks great

Looks like the comments are leaning towards white light, which is my preference too. But the votes is coming out with Blue light ahead.

top pic. looks more natural.

I prefer the first photo

I love full view tank shots too

Bottom tank may look different because it's a see through and the light might difuse different. I do remember seeing another softie tank that had the same color and I think it was primarily done with Fiji Purple T'5's?

Interesting. I have the Giesemann Super Purple, I wonder how that compares.. I'm going to end up with a pile of random bulbs trying to figure it out haha.
