Beautiful photos, I love them. What kind of lights are you using to capture these?

I've found a couple of apps that help with the blue-ish tone from my iPhone photos. Check out the App Store - I use Aviary and camera+ (both free, by the way). They let you adjust white balance and saturation to get a more realistic look.

Your pics are amazing, btw - your tank is one of my favorites here.

You're using 3watt LEDs, but you've got 75 of them, that's a lot.

75 are the watts for each of the leds.

Your tank looks great, I'm curious about your lighting schedule. Do you lean more towards the T5s or the LEDs? You're doing a good job, keep it up.

T5s are full power for 11 hours, LEDs are on for 12 hours but only from zero to 60% and then back down
