I use a custom white balance, also if you shoot in raw and with a lil post proccessing you can wash out alot of the blue.

Take a piece of white PVC and adjust your WB using this as a reference point. Use this PVC under any lighting you wish to photograph and adjust your WB. This method is like using a "grey card". Once you have done this your colors should be a bit more realistic, note that you may have to adjust exposure as well. Hope this helps.

Make sure to fill the frame with the PVC. It doesn't have to be in focus.

Also depending on the height of your tank, you may need to re-calibrate the white balance between pictures taken on the sand bed or higher up.
