I mean it just seems to make the image brighter? more yellow? now is that becouse its picking up the truer colors of my lights?

as well when i to the color balance.. do i stick the hole camera ( Its small ) into the coffee filter? Or do i just hold it up agaist the glass and shot the it ?

sorry, Anyway of getting more detailed.. simple instructs.. lol

Cool cameras ...... I wonder how many Coolpix are sold just to reefers and just because of Robz ???

As a possible suggestion ... I've use a small piece of PVC [white] that I temporarily put in my tank to set my white balance on when I do my `manual' or whatever they call it.

IMO, easier to have a larger area to work with that way ...

But awesome suggestions - I'm going to have to try this coffee filter trick. It still blows me away ... thanks!
