Fairly insignificant at 2' or so depth (most of our tanks). The red loss
gets noticeable at depths of more than a meter or so. Notice what colors
get reflected back from the white bottom of a swimming pool. The blue is
attenuated very little, but some red is lost, tinting the pool a pastel
cyan (pale blue-green).
Gee, we could go back to the color in a white bucket foolishness, at
this rate. :-)
