Hopefully I will be making up the rest of my stock this weekend while my wife and daughters are gone. I will put 2 aside.

OK, I don't need it right away so no rush. Anyhow let me know when it done, I can just take it and put it away for future use when I have the apex. No rush thank

A little update of the new aquarscaping with the corals and sunbrite f 60 led before changing to ati light. As you can see corals slowly get it color back and not as brown ever since I max out the light couple hour a day

Looks good Kevin.
As for camera, I'm using a Panasonic Lumix TS2 or TS3 (don't remember but I can check when I get home) when I'm going scuba diving and I'm very pleased with it.It's 6ft shock proof and I think it goes 40ft underwater without a special case. I didn't try it on Blue Tank yet :eek:. I think they have now the Lumix TS5 already who is supposed to be better.
If you want you can try it for a day or 2.

If you mean by blue, blue LEDs, that may be tricky. Most cameras have a hard time balancing out the really blue colours and makes taking photos and video with the blues on, or only blues on, very tricky. Almost all cameras nowadays let you custom white balance, which helps, but it is still tricky to nail it. I can't speak too much for the point and shoots these days for reef photography, but they are getting insanely good in terms of picture quality, and many have detachable lenses for different applications much like a DSLR. DSLRs are more bulky and expensive, but they do typically allow a great amount of freedom in the white balancing department for both video and stills. You can use presets, or use the custom feature, which will get you very close. Using the WB shift feature, you can usually get even closer (at least on Canon bodies anyway). I would decide what your use for the camera will be primarily and then go from there.
