UNLOCK THE TRUTH
Orange lenses aren't a gimmick. They are the only way to see what you actually bought.
🕶️ Why These Are In Every Box
Ever wonder why there’s a pair of orange glasses in your shipment? They aren't a "freebie." They are a requirement.
Under heavy blue LEDs, coral detail gets lost in the glowing chaos. Your eyes can't process it. The camera can't process it. These glasses strip the blue wash, balance the spectrum, and reveal the real pigment the coral is throwing off.
We include them so you see exactly what we see when we grade, bag, and ship your coral. It’s not for the selfie—it’s so you can see your reef like candy.
The human brain white-balances like a cheap webcam.
Without a filter, your tank looks like a glowing blue rave. You lose the reds, the purples, the complex yellows. The orange filter cuts that noise so you can actually see the animal, not just the light fixture.
⚙️ The Protocol
Using them is simple, but most people botch it. Follow this exactly:
Turn your lights to Blue Only (Royal Blue/UV). No whites. No reds. You want pure actinic fluorescence.
Put the orange lens directly over the camera lens. Not halfway. Not floating near it. Cover the sensor completely.
🔥 The Truth Layer
This is where the magic hits. Same coral. Same light. One with the filter, one without. Nothing edited.
Once you see it side-by-side, you’ll never look at your reef the same way again.
More Than Just Clout
This isn't just for Instagram. It’s a diagnostic tool.
Orange filters reveal health indicators you can't see with the naked eye. You will notice pigment loss, stress, or bleaching way earlier. If your coral looks dull through the orange lens, your parameters are sliding. Catch it early, fix it fast.
User Error
Don’t wear them with white channels on. That is how you get "Orange Mush."
The filter is calibrated for pure blue light. If you mix in whites, the lens gets overwhelmed. Kill the whites. Go full actinic. See the truth.
📦 When Your Box Lands
Read this before you judge the color.
Between shipping stress, bag tint, and your home lighting differences, corals can look muted right out of the box. This is normal.
1. Acclimate the coral.
2. Turn lights to Blue Only.
3. Use the Orange Lens.
What you see then is the real pigment. We shoot and pack under these exact conditions. Follow the protocol, and you'll see what we saw.
The Bottom Line
Orange glasses are a cheat code for reading health, pigment, and real color. Use them right, and your tank will never look the same again.
See the reef. Not the glare.
