White balance problem

Hello,
All my webcams are filming my reef aquarium.
Last week I changed the 2 HQI (HID) lamps for news 12000°K 400W lamps (before that old 400W lamps only had a 10000°K color temperature)
Under this new setup colors are slightly more blue, but very pleasant to the eye
No problem for the Hercule webcam, colors are the same as before.
But both Logitech webcams images are now way too blue even with the white balance slider set on the right most position.
Is there anything that I can do ?
You can see the webcams images here : http://www.multicamserver.com/en/cameras/goto?target=789829

AbelCam does not do anything with White Balance. You should probably post this question over on Logitech's forums and see what they say.

How about putting a strip of warming gel (pale pink filter) over the slot that the lend looks out through?

I understand that white balance is under Logitech driver control not Abelcam control.
The idea to put a gel filter in front of the lens is excellent, I was doing that all the time in non digital photography age !!!
