Version History of Aquarium Camera

3.1

January 24, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. 3.0 - Checkout the all new Gel mode! It simulates the placement of a colored lens over your camera. Before making the Aquarium Camera app, buying a lens or colored gel (typically orange) was pretty much the only way you could reliably get blue light out of your aquarium shots. The thing that I think makes this app even superior to that life hack , is that it dynamically changes the color of the lens to match what the camera sees in the scene. You might have a frag that needs more yellow, or lighter orange, or more red. Another shot of that mother acro colony might actually need a lens with a bit more blueness to it. It's like you went out and bought 16,777,216 pack of gels (give or take) so you could get the perfect color correction every time. I also added in some auto controls on the sliders to get you back to par if you went a little too nuts. You can now see the values changing dynamically and get a readout of their values. This version also fixes a few users experiencing crashes with the new iPhone X. 3.1 - Includes bug fixes (classic liverock hitchhiker type of stuff) and minor enhancements

2.0

October 19, 2017

Version 2.0 of Aquarium Camera gives you WAY MORE POWER against blue LED light recoloring your corals and plants and gives you the flexibility to dial in the right color correction for your tank photos. Thank you for all your feedback! Sending me your light configurations was MASSIVE. Users at Reef2Reef.com combined with iTunes reviewers meant that version 2.0 had over 150 aquarists test the app in different lighting conditions before this release. If you don't get the results you want please email me via the website so I can learn from your setup and make the necessary adjustments. I won't stop updating the app until we're all happy fish. Thanks so much again for downloading the app and being perhaps the greatest hobbyists/biologists on earth (let's be honest).

Price History of Aquarium Camera

Description of Aquarium Camera

LED aquarium lights are brilliant, but blue (actinic) light interferes with your camera sensor, changing the beautiful colors of your fish and corals into a scene from a black light filled roller rink from the 1980's. Enter our hopeful hero, Aquarium Camera. It dreams of ridding the internet of bad aquarium photography. It's designed to color correct the actinic light from LEDs in real-time on our mobile devices, the thing we use to take photos of everything else in our lives, except our tanks... until now. "The Aquarium Camera app is an essential tool for reef tank photography." – ReefBuilders.com You can now stop buying pro camera rigs, shooting in raw, buying gels, and turning off your blue lights to get great and accurate shots of your tank. You don't need to spend hours in post-production or photo editing apps, tweaking the hue and lighting of each of your photos. Simply put, all you need is the Aquarium Camera and an iPad or iPhone to get GREAT photos and videos of your aquarium. “So easy to use… Love it!!! And the color changing is realtime so you can see the screen and the real thing side by side to ensure you get the right balance.” – Carlos Chacon, IT Manager at CoralVue Features: • Real-time white balance color • Real-time RGB adjustment • *NEW* Real-time Gel mode - orange gels are typically used by professional photographers to compensate for blue light. The new gel mode works like magic by simulating what a gel over your lens will do to your shots. It goes a step further by dynamically changing it's color based on what it sees in your shot (it's like buying millions of gels and picking just the right one for each shot) • Take Photos or Video • Portrait and Landscape photos (obviously) • Digital pinch to zoom • Touch to focus • Manually control brightness • Toggle the flash on/off (works great if your corals are really close to the glass in your aquarium) • Download it one time and use on your iPad and iPhone • Quickly access your camera roll to review shots • Share photos or videos right from the library Special thanks to the members of Reef2Reef.com for testing version 3.0 of the app! Over 250 aquarists tested version 3.0 prior to pushing to the app store. Check out the Reef2Reef, ReefCentral, Nano-Reef and ChicagoReefs forums to see some of their awesome aquarium photos! Super big thanks to Reef2Reef members Jason Mack, Scott Nelson, Scurvy, NorthFLreefer, ReeferMadness80G, Budau18 and Stratru362 for giving me permission to use their photos in the preview! I created the Aquarium Camera app because I was tired of seeing posts of brilliant aquariums on forums like Reef2Reef, Nano-Reef, ReefCentral that don't truly represent the health and beauty of the fish, plants, and corals inside. It wasn't as big of a problem in the days of VHO, Power Compacts and Metal Halide lighting, but with LEDs now taking over the aquarium lighting space, we needed another solution. Let's commit ourselves to spending less time trying to correct the lighting on our aquarium photos and videos and more time enjoying our fish, shrimp, snails, plants, and corals... oh, and doing water changes. The before and after shots in the preview were taken at the 2017 Aquatic Experience Kessil booth, A80 Tuna Blues. The video was taken under an AquaIllumination Nano LED fixture.

Reviews of Aquarium Camera

  • Awesome App

    I don’t usually write review but this app is so amazing I have to leave a review. The app does what it suppose to do, help coral show more coral under blue led and I also like how easy to use this app is, I can locate thing very easily. The only problem I have with this app is that whenever I record something and I watch that recorded video in the app it will stall and force me to restart the app but overall it’s a amazing app, worth the money
  • Nice app but desperately needs a little update love

    Nice app, does what it says for the most part. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years. I was on the edge about paying $3 for an app that hasn’t been touched in that long. I may get a refund. There are tons of little bugs and quality of life issues that can be smoothed out. For example, true support for the new phones and their cameras. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and the final picture quality after taking a picture is better than the stock cam but still meh - blurry grainy low quality. Hope the dev comes back!

    Developer Response

    On it! Thanks for the feedback. Good to see it’s still working all these years but agreed it’s time to take advantage of all the hardware upgrades.
  • Could be 5star if issue resolved

    Using this with an orange filter I can make corals look exactly like I’m seeing (without orange filter). I can also make them look like how they are when I’m viewing them with an orange filter. Very easy to adjust with only three sliders.

    Issue: A lot of the photos I take don’t end up in my iPhones photos library. Not sure why. If this was fixed I’d give it a
