I don't think your camera is ir sensitive. Most digital cameras have a filter that block ir. Unless the camera has been modified for it all your picture would be red using that filter.

I can't comment on your Nikon, but I recently acquired the same filter and have played with it a very little on my Canon T3i. First experiments got silimilar results as you described. Second time I set a custom white balance with the filter in place and got some pretty good images without the heavy red cast . I haven 't had time to play with post or false color yet , but it could be worth trying custom balance to get rid of the red cast when you shoot.

Good luck .

A number of cameras can't do a custom white balance. They are listed on Lifepixel's site.http://www.lifepixel.com/infrared-faq. Go though their website it's full of info.
