I mean it’s in the name. “Orange camera/lens filter” :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
I don’t understand though
Through the glasses great; through the lens nightmare.

I honestly don’t know where to find some other than a reef event. Maybe you could ask some folks around here? Maybe @Lost in the Sauce ?

I have to use yellow/orange stacked on one of my tanks. The other does fine with just orange.

When I was underwater taking video with my gopro, I had to play around with the filters. It depended on the light on the day. It states on the filters what colors to use with different lights. Not that I have any idea right now which to use.

WIth the kids I work with, I use yellow and orange glasses. The yellow work so much better. Just the safety type of glasses. Kids destroy them to fast to get nice ones.

I think you don't have enough light spread, too many shadows. Try to get more light for your tank and I bet you will see a difference.
