LED aquarium lights are brilliant, but blue (actinic) light interferes with your camera sensor, changing the beautiful colors of your fish and corals into a scene from a black light filled roller rink from the 1980's.

Enter our hopeful hero, Aquarium Camera. It dreams of ridding the internet of bad aquarium photography. It's designed to color correct the actinic light from LEDs in real-time on our mobile devices, the thing we use to take photos of everything else in our lives, except our tanks... until now.

"The Aquarium Camera app is an essential tool for reef tank photography." – ReefBuilders.com

You can now stop buying pro camera rigs, shooting in raw, buying gels, and turning off your blue lights to get great and accurate shots of your tank. You don't need to spend hours in post-production or photo editing apps, tweaking the hue and lighting of each of your photos. Simply put, all you need is the Aquarium Camera and an iPad or iPhone to get GREAT photos and videos of your aquarium.

“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

Features:

• Real-time white balance color
• Real-time RGB adjustment
• *NEW* Real-time Gel mode - orange gels are typically used by professional photographers to compensate for blue light. The new gel mode works like magic by simulating what a gel over your lens will do to your shots. It goes a step further by dynamically changing it's color based on what it sees in your shot (it's like buying millions of gels and picking just the right one for each shot)
• Take Photos or Video
• Portrait and Landscape photos (obviously)
• Digital pinch to zoom
• Touch to focus
• Manually control brightness
• Toggle the flash on/off (works great if your corals are really close to the glass in your aquarium)
• Download it one time and use on your iPad and iPhone
• Quickly access your camera roll to review shots
• Share photos or videos right from the library

Special thanks to the members of Reef2Reef.com for testing version 3.0 of the app! Over 250 aquarists tested version 3.0 prior to pushing to the app store. Check out the Reef2Reef, ReefCentral, Nano-Reef and ChicagoReefs forums to see some of their awesome aquarium photos! Super big thanks to Reef2Reef members Jason Mack, Scott Nelson, Scurvy, NorthFLreefer, ReeferMadness80G, Budau18 and Stratru362 for giving me permission to use their photos in the preview!

I created the Aquarium Camera app because I was tired of seeing posts of brilliant aquariums on forums like Reef2Reef, Nano-Reef, ReefCentral that don't truly represent the health and beauty of the fish, plants, and corals inside. It wasn't as big of a problem in the days of VHO, Power Compacts and Metal Halide lighting, but with LEDs now taking over the aquarium lighting space, we needed another solution.

Let's commit ourselves to spending less time trying to correct the lighting on our aquarium photos and videos and more time enjoying our fish, shrimp, snails, plants, and corals... oh, and doing water changes.

The before and after shots in the preview were taken at the 2017 Aquatic Experience Kessil booth, A80 Tuna Blues. The video was taken under an AquaIllumination Nano LED fixture.

Aquarium Camera App Comments & Reviews

Aquarium Camera Positive Reviews

Works pretty good with color but picture quality isn’t the bestThis app definitely helps with the color correction of overly blue pictures, however, the quality of the pictures isn’t perfect… In some previous reviews the developer has stated he will be upgrading the quality of pictures as new phones are capable of handling it but I am on the 14 pro max (the latest/highest camera of any iphone so far) and my pictures come out slightly fuzzy. I think another good feature this app needs is camera stabilization to reduce some of what seems like motion blur from natural hand shaking. Tried to see if there was a feedback spot to recommend these to the developer personally but couldn’t find anything..Version: 3.1

It’s good, not greatSo I was pretty skeptical of this app working, saw it had decent reviews and bought it. It actually worked much better than I thought, and I was thinking wow this thing is awesome!! And even though it is pretty cool, I compared it to my 5 dollar orange filter lens and it was one, way easier to use. And two, better. That being said I l usually don’t have my lens with me since I have multiple tanks. this is a great alternative to when you don’t have that lens that works it’s magic for you. Another thing is that unless you are pretty good at photography editing and what not. This might come as a challenge to edit the picture. All and all though I say it is worth the 3 bucks. Happy reefing!.Version: 3.1

Works great! The critics probably didn’t fiddle around enough with itIt absolutely does work, you just need to fiddle with it. For me, red at 3.4, green at 1, blue at 3.9, and the automatic gel filter looks the best. It’s pretty spot on! Those who say it doesn’t work just didn’t know what they’re doing. Trust me. Just fiddle around with it. Putting green above 1 never really does anything good. You usually want to have red and blue about the same level, but it depends on your spectrum of light. You don’t want to put blue at 1 and red at max to try to correct the intensity of blue in your photos. It doesn’t work like that, you need both red and blue. Make sure to use the gel filter also! It automatically adjusted to the best gel filter for me.Version: 3.1

Taking pics underwater is merely impossibleReally love this app. It does such a great job and it’s so easy to use. Wife and I have life proof cases and we hoped to take pics underwater but because of the water the screen doesn’t respond. It would be awesome if an update could be made to snap a picture with the volume up or down button. Then this would have 10 stars!.Version: 3.1

Never knew this was an option!Did some searching on the interwebs and found some talk about this app on Reef2Reef… thought I’d give it a try for $4. Not disappointed! I can now take pretty gangster pics of my marine tanks with the actenic lighting on and they turn out very nice without blueing out! Haven’t played around with it too much yet, but very pleased with the results just in the default mode! Winning..Version: 3.1

Could be 5star if issue resolvedUsing this with an orange filter I can make corals look exactly like I’m seeing (without orange filter). I can also make them look like how they are when I’m viewing them with an orange filter. Very easy to adjust with only three sliders. Issue: A lot of the photos I take don’t end up in my iPhones photos library. Not sure why. If this was fixed I’d give it a.Version: 3.1

Corrects color perfectlyDoes a great job with colors. Just wish the quality of pics could be more HD tho. Seems to come out blurry at times for me. I really appreciate the reply. It happens even if I tap. The resolution is not the same as with my phone’s camera. I can send you comparison pics if you give me a contact email..Version: 3.1

Finally I can take picsI love the app... with LEDS it is near impossible to take pics of your corals with the blues turned up . But this nails it and it dosent look distorted or like you photoshopped .i which I could post before and after pics ... definitely worth the 2.99 if you have a reef tank or saltwater tank it is a must buy!!!.Version: 3.1

Awesome but Missing a must have featureThis app is amazing for reef pictures, in order to be 10 star app they must add a feature to be able To take pictures using the volume button. This will allow underwater pictures to be taken since screen becomes unresponsive underwater. I have a macro lens and can’t use it because of that reason. Please add this feature.Version: 3.1

Beautiful cameraSpectacular filters for all three of my tanks, but not quite as intuitive as I would like. Also the “auto” setting isn’t always the best to highlight some of the bright reds and oranges I’m trying to capture. Overall well worth the money..Version: 3.1

Really works magic!!!I wish I can post some photos here. The effects are stunning! I have white egg crates as frag rack in my tank. After adjusting the colors of the corals to best match the human eye view, the egg crate appears white on the phone! White balance is spot on! Thanks for such an amazing app! It’s the best $2 I spent on this hobby!!.Version: 2.0

Best Reef Pics with My Phone YetI’m really happy with the results of this app using my 7+. I had also bought a clip-on filter that just ended up turning things orange. This app allows me to tweak and take video and stills that turn out great every time. Worth the money!.Version: 3.1

Works pretty well!I’m pretty impressed about this app! So far it is working good for me. Takes a little bit to figure out but definitely cheaper than buying actual lens’s..Version: 3.1

Just get it!!!Great app, it’s effortless to capture the true colors of my fish and coral under my AI prime HD, and if you’re reading this it’s because you know how hard it is to show your stuff off to fellow reefers even with gel filters. Hands down best 2 bucks I’ve spent in this hobby..Version: 3.1

Good color balance but some detail is lostApp is good at color balance but some detail is lost and images are not as sharp compared to without the app. Improve detail and keep the original sharpness and this app would get 5 stars from me..Version: 3.1

A Must have for ReefersVersion 2.0 is head and shoulders above the original version. Color matching is for pics to trade corals or track changes is super easy, and gets easier the more you use it; even under heavy blue lighting. Fantastic app.Version: 2.0

Camera gets the job done however.So the camera app works as it’s supposed to. The only issue is it’s obviously not optimized to the latest camera apis as the pictures lose all sharpness and clarity. Also no way to chose between the cameras if on a multi camera phone. Needs an update..Version: 3.1

Awesome app! Needs updateThe app works amazing! And I can get beautiful pictures of my coral. The one thing I wish it had was the ability to switch between different cameras on the new iPhone!.Version: 3.1

UnbelievableI thought it wouldn’t work.., it does. Finally I can’t take photos with my cell phone when blue lights are on. It does the job , and does it well !.Version: 3.1

Nice reef appI was definitely skeptical about getting this app, but it really captures the true color of my fish and coral. I run LEDs on my 60 gallon mixed reef tank so having a camera that lets me adjust colors in real time is a huge help..Version: 3.1

Simple and effectiveNice app - simple controls to get huge improvements in photos in a reef tank. Well done!.Version: 3.0

So worth itFor 3$ it is so worth it wish I could show before and after pictures!! Give it a try..Version: 3.1

Love it.. It's way better than the stock camera on my 8+Stock camera can't touch this app taking pics of reef tanks. Well worth the price.Version: 3.0

Great app!At first I thought it was a waste of money until I really started playing with the app and comparing it with me regular photos. Great app!.Version: 3.1

Amazing updateHoping for good things in the future. Kessil A360w.Version: 2.0

Worth every penny!I love this app! It’s the perfect camera for taking accurate pictures of your corals!.Version: 2.0

Works greatDoes everything it says. Takes awesome photos of corals. Well worth the money..Version: 3.0

Nifty toolEasy to use and does what you need it to.Version: 3.1

Not the best, go buy filter gels insteadIt’s decent, hard to adjust since it’s not automatic.Version: 3.1

Perfect App!!!I was hesitant to download at first seeing the price, but after downloading and testing it out on my RSR 350... I fell in love! This app is great and I will be recommending it to many fellow reefers! Thank you!.Version: 3.1
