the macro setting of course...you a tripod if you can...or something to keep your hand/camera steady...if too bright, with my macro setting i can adjust the lighting, and i put it to -.7 to help balance it...thats on my seahorse thank though...on my reef i just put on macro, zoom as much as i can before it gets out of focus, and take 100 shots to get one

I would love to hear some tips people have as well. I am terrible at taking pics of my tank.

best way to take pics in an aquarium is a few tips.
first tip get a few feet away from the tank. this will help cut down any any distortion from the glass if not shooting straight on.
Next try not to use a flash. it will just bounce off the glass and look like a big nasty spot.
Use a tripod
If need be bump up the ISO and lower the fstop to give you a little faster shutter speed.
OHH and if your camera has manual settings.
try not to shoot in those preset ones..they make things worse.
use Apature or in M mode..so you can set the apature and shutter speed to help get the effect and look you want..will help make your pics much nicer.

I had same problem,there was another thread on this somewhere around here....... But the thing that helped me the most was a tripod and a good photo editing software. Most of my pics look OK, but after the software edits them,it actually looks like I know what Im doing.
