    looking for an android app that has a manual white adjustment...not preset choices.

    I read that if you place something like PVC in the tank and manually adjust the white balance on the camera you can capture what the coral looks like even under heavy blue LEDs.

    In the settings your best bet is 'cloudy' or overcast.

    A manual white balance is something that typically comes on professional video cameras, or really high end cameras. ( my d300 didnt have one but my 5100 does.

    I am not 100% sure there will be any app that will be press the button and go type, you may find a slider. Your best bet is the PVC idea, essentially you need white reference for the digital camera to compare to.

    When shooting with my phone the best I can do is cloudy and then selecting a 'warm' filter to lighten things back up, this is under 20kK with 4 t5ho 420's
