The finishing carpenter that did my house built it, they're called Epic Woodwork. They did brilliant work, not just on the tank (which was awfully challenging), but on the whole house.

Was just touching up my photos in iPhoto. It looks like my photo skills still suck massive monster monkey balls. The images I previously posted are waaaaaaaay to cold.
Here's a better example of what it would look like to your eye if you were standing in front. Kien, I'm gonna get you to bring your camera with you when you come over, cuz my skills are weak sauce. Also, I'm trying these hosted on dropbox. Photobucket seems to torpedo the quality.

I took a tutorial on correcting white balance in Photoshop and decided to try and apply it to some of my tank pictures. These are top downs I took today, not perfectly accurate to real world, but 100 times better than what my iPhone gets with the native camera app.
     You can see the problem I'm having with my radions in a few of these. White diodes burnt out all over the place. I'm trying to sort it out with Ecotech.

Thanks! A couple of those colonies turned out really janky in terms of colours because the phone sensor blue washes everything, so on the phone, reds barely even register, while anything that's blue becomes indecipherable from the background. I tried a new correction in Photoshop that involves specifically setting the black value, the white value, and the grey value manually using a kind of long and annoying process, but it requires there being something that is truly 'white' in the image that isn't blown out or a reflection, and since my sand has turned mostly grey/purple it was hard to find true white anywhere in the tank that's not crazy blown out on a phone camera.
Anyway it's a heck of a lot better than the original photos, but those are the only ones I could get 'right' enough to think worth posting lol.
