LED aquarium lights are brilliant—literally. But all that blue actinic light? It turns your camera sensor into a confused mess, transforming your beautiful corals and fish into something that belongs in a blacklight-filled roller rink from 1987.

You didn't spend hundreds of dollars on that rainbow BTA and premium LED fixture just to have your tank photos look like they were shot through a Smurf filter. Enter Aquarium Camera, the app that actually understands what you're trying to photograph.

No more turning off your blue lights. No more shooting in RAW and spending hours in Lightroom. No more buying pro camera rigs, color gels, or sacrificing your wallet to the photography gods. Just open the app, point, shoot, and watch it fix everything in real-time.

Features

  • Real-Time White Balance Correction: Instantly neutralizes that blue tint like it was never there
  • Real-Time RGB Adjustment: Fine-tune colors on the fly until they match what your eyes actually see
  • NEW: Gel Mode: Simulates professional orange gels, but smarter—it dynamically adjusts based on your shot, like having millions of gels and picking the perfect one every time
  • Photo & Video: Shoot stills or record video, both get the same real-time correction
  • Portrait & Landscape: Because sometimes you want that full tank shot
  • Touch to Focus & Pinch to Zoom: Get up close on that new frag without losing clarity
  • Manual Brightness Control: Dial in exposure so your torch coral doesn't blow out the frame
  • Flash Toggle: Works great if your coral is pressed right up against the glass (we've all been there)
  • Universal App: Download once, use on iPhone and iPad
  • Quick Camera Roll Access: Review and share your shots instantly

Tested By 250+ Aquarists

Before every major release, over 250 aquarists from Reef2Reef put this app through its paces on their actual tanks—Kessils, AI Hydras, Radions, you name it. Not lab conditions. Real setups with real actinic blues causing real problems.

"So easy to use… Love it!!! And the color changing is realtime so you can see the screen and the real thing side by side to ensure you get the right balance."
— Carlos Chacon, IT Manager at CoralVue

Why This Exists

I was tired of seeing incredible reef tanks on forums like Reef2Reef, ReefCentral, and Nano-Reef posted with photos that looked nothing like the actual coral. Back in the days of VHO, T5s, and metal halide lights, this wasn't as bad. But with LEDs dominating the hobby now, the blue actinic spike wrecks every camera sensor.

So I built Aquarium Camera. Because your tank is gorgeous, and your photos should prove it.

Pro Tip

Results vary depending on your shot. Through software alone, you can't completely eliminate actinic light (#science). Sometimes, depending on your LED fixture, camera angle, and what's in frame, a little blue still sneaks through. Not as bad as your regular camera app, but still noticeable.

If you want perfection, grab a polarizing filter or tinted lens for your phone. But honestly? For 99% of forum posts, Instagram uploads, and tank journals, this app gets you there without extra gear.

Let's spend less time fixing photos in post and more time enjoying our tanks—and doing water changes.
