What setting are you shooting on the camera what is the white balance, shutter speed ect. What kind of lighting are you using with, my macro the shots of the corals my colours are washed out looking.

I'm shooting TV mode on my camera f/8, 1/15 shutter, iso100, WB auto
For lighting it's just my t5's all 10 bulbs. I'm no expert photographer, just messing around.

If your pics are washed out, try lowering the iso to 100 and play with the shutter speeds. Also turn off the pumps and get a decent tripod. I've been getting some god results shooting 1,3 shutter speed. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but longer shutter speed(exposer?)
