Reef Casa Foto — Orange Smartphone Lens Filter for Reef Aquarium Photography 37 mm - Reef Casa
Available
The Reef Casa Foto Orange Camera Lens Filter is an orange optical filter designed for photographing reef aquariums with a smartphone. The intense blue lighting used in reef aquariums distorts colors in photos, resulting in an overly blue rendering that doesn't reflect the true beauty of your corals. The Foto orange filter corrects this blue cast by attenuating blue wavelengths, faithfully restoring the vibrant, natural colors of your corals and fish. It attaches quickly to your smartphone's lens using a universal adjustable clip.

Instructions for Use
Clean your smartphone lens to remove any dust or fingerprints. Attach the filter using the clip, aligning the filter correctly with the camera lens. Ensure the filter is centered to avoid any vignetting or distortion. Launch your photo app and, if necessary, adjust the white balance settings for optimal rendering. For best results, use the filter when the aquarium's blue light is active — this is when colors appear most distorted in photos without a filter.
Maintenance Tips
Regularly clean the filter with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain image quality. Avoid exposing the filter to extreme temperatures or excessive humidity. Store the filter in a dry place when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my reef aquarium photos too blue?
Reef lights use a blue-dominated spectrum (450-470 nm) to promote coral growth. Your smartphone's camera captures this blue cast and produces photos that do not reflect the colors you see with the naked eye. The Foto orange filter compensates for this dominant color by blocking excess blue light.
Does the Foto filter work with all smartphones?
Yes. The universal adjustable clip fits most smartphones and tablets, including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and other popular models. It attaches directly over your camera's main lens.
Can I use the Foto filter to shoot aquarium videos?
Yes. The filter works equally well for photos and videos. Attach it to your smartphone and film your corals with natural, faithful colors, ideal for Instagram and YouTube videos of your aquarium.
