nope, don't have any actinics. just run a 250w radium on HQI ballast. white balance is set to auto, but sometimes i'll adjust the RAW image to a color temp of 10k if there is too much blue haze in the sand/back wall/or acrylic, but i normally only do that for a full tank shot. as the auto white balance is pretty darn close to what i see in person.
as far as settings go, i just shoot in aperture priority, anywhere from f/5.6 to f/9, ISO always at 100 when shooting in aperture priority and a tripod.
then i use things such as mirror lock, long exposure noise reduction etc which are custom settings.
