Set the lens in manual focus and focus on the the shot. NOW here's the tricky part. The shooting setting. That all depends on your lighting that you have on your tank. With PCs and VHOs you could prob get away with 4.5 f/stop and 1/4 shutter speed. (Will confirm later. I'm not infront of the tank.) You can set this via manual mode or you can leave it in P and it'll set the shutter and f/stop automatically.

Let me know how that comes out.
