I ask because I have a T5/led combo on my 55 and my slr has no problem picking up the tank as I see it. My 180, with 3 radions however looks completely different in photos, with the same settings and the pictures are not true to color. I still have not nailed down the settings for pictures for this tank.
Yes, I have rendered the photos (colour temps) so that they closely match what my eyes see. What mode are you shooting in? I shoot in RAW format and process the photo myself rather than letting the camera process the photo for me. I have noticed that SLRs do have a hard time guessing what white balance to use on your LED lit tanks. Thats why I apply white balance manually.
