Yep same lighting, 2X400W Radiums and 2X40W Actinics, the Canon captures the colour the way it looks in my eyes. It's a great camera.

It has a builtin underwater white balance setting (you can also set the white balance manually) for shooting with the waterproof case. Works great for tanks, I used the setting and the colour looks great.

Thanks for the tip, I will give that a try. The great thing about digital is it's free to play

What I do is use a white sheet a paper to reflect the actinics and/or MH lights and then set the white balance to that.

I assume the underwater case works well then? Always seemed risky to me, the thought of dipping a brand new camera in water.

With a case like that you could get such great pictures though!

I have a water proof case for mine and use it whenever I dive. It is rated for 200' but I have only had it to 135'. At that depth the case was fine but the camera acted up under all that preasure.
