AI users that photography their tank?
I have a nano tank at work that has an AI Sol Nano on it. I wanted to take some photos to help document growth and add to my build thread, but I struggle to get shots that represent the tank accurately. Does any one have good suggestions on getting good photos of their tank under these lights? Mine seem to be washed out and look 1970's style.

Shoot in raw then clean it up afterwards.

I have Sol's, not the nano. For photo's, what I do is crank the white channel up leaving the B and RB where they are (~65% for me) and then shoot in raw, as mentioned above. When I convert the RAW file, I change the color temp until the image looks like what I perceive as reality. I think it is usually around 7k, but I don't really remember. Just tweek it until it looks right.
