Finally got used to non flash picture taking.
Pretty easy once you get started.
A tripod is a must. Used the string and screw method.
Some are still a bit blurry but better.
Here are some from tonight

Does the string/screw method really work? I've been wondering how to get good pictures with a regular digital camera. I have a Sony. I use a tripod w/o the flash and the tank comes out fine, but the fish are blurry since they dont sit still.

Any tips/ideas?
 
Will provide an example of one with and with string method and you tell me.
Works well for me. I like it be cause you don't have to keep moving a tripod around just move camera and adjust to right level. Lighting plays one of the biggest roles thou make sure their is enough.
