They look really good and the coloration is amazing on the first piccie..

Whatever works for you and obviously what you are doing is working

You have the Canon PowerShot A550 right? Nice camera by the way!!
Have you tried the ISO on 100 instead of 80 and having the flash off and just using the lighting in the tank? I usually take my pictures in the evening when it is dark and only the tank is lit....but like I said different ways work better for others...

I am still trying to figure out the camera -- only had it a year!! LOL I just figured out the macro today -- hence the pictures --- I will try the ISO on 100 -- can't figure out how to turn the flash off tho -- still working on that

The first pic is amazing! On the rest, have you tried it w/ flash/w/o flash? Set it to take pics outside.

I personally shot on my reef 200 ISO, 80 shutter speed, and NO flash. Now this is running 285W or 3.16 WPG meaning its bright so I can run the low ISO and shutter speed. To me flash equals bad in all photography. I absoulutly HATE using flash. If I have to use flash I don't take the pic. Reall just have patience and learn your camera and you will be taking great photos in no time.
