What are some good lenses for FTSs and close ups. And whats a good setting for close ups? It all ways focus on the glass

Try using manual focus so the autofocus doesn't get the glass. Changing the lense won't necessarily solve that problem. When taking pics of anything in my tank I always use manual.

How close to the actual tank are you when you try to take the close-ups?

A Macro lense is your best bet, but even with my Nikon D40x I can get some decent shots, but I use the manual focus, tripod, AND the timer. It's amazing how much clearer they come out when I do those three simple things.
