when you say turn off all the lights, do you mean the moon lights too? (don't laugh)

I'm not sure what post you are referring to - But I take pics with my tank lights on - no flash and I turn off all the room lights and close the blinds so they don't reflect in the tank pictures

Normally this would mean turn off the house lights around the tank, but you'll want to leave on the tank lights. This should help eliminate any reflections in the panes of glass. So close the blinds, kill the room lighting, and turn off the flash, and see what kind of pictures you can get.

Thanks, I'll try that!

If you have a Canon, turn all the lights off in your tank and take it with the flash on...it looks crystal clear (at least for my Canon)

1 thing i did not see mentioned.. Turn Off your flow while taking pictures.. You will get rid of blur due to current movment of your objects .. This is a big one for me.. as soon as i did that, my pictures improved 100%
