I plan to use Final Cut Pro to edit my video but I'm still not sure how to set white balance when I'm filming or what to use to adjust it in the aquarium.

I've also looked into underwater cases for the a6500 but it's a bit expensive and I'm not planing on going diving any time soon so it can wait haha. Any tips?

Seems like we have similar uses for the camera. I got 60 mm for macro shots. That works out to about 93 mm on the 6500. I got a Sony 18–105 for video which I read is a very good lens and will cover pretty much the whole gamut of shooting. It'll be good for wider shots as well as close ups when walking around the tank. It also has a relatively fast auto focus which will be good for video as well.
