    Agree with Jason...using max zoom, photos turn out crappy...:-/

    One more thing...try taking pics with different light settings in tank...MH off/on, other lights also on and off. - and with different light in room you are taking pics.

    Because of camera limitations, I always have to use flash with taking pics of moving fish.

    Need to experiment using different camera angles so flash effect does not show up in pic...

    Have fun...show us how you are doing & post some pics when you get them.
