That is a very unique tank indeed!
I like it. It is definitely on my list of the best looking nanos I've seen.

Ok lets give this a shot... try setting the lens to 50 mm... with the 1.4x factor it should be aprox equivalent to 70 mm... You could acutally prob put the lens a little higher in zoom (60 mm)... next set the lens on a tripod and back up until you get your entire tank in the viewfinder. 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.
