Camera

I just want to be able to take very clear pictures and zoom in for coral shots. Size matters not.

I agree with Tony. I have an SX110 and it does fairly well You won't be able to get the amazing shots that you get with a Canon or Nikon DSLR, but if you learn to work the camera, you can get some pretty good shots. I'd check Craigslist or eBay, if you are comfortable there.

i get the best shots with a similar setup while standing a bit away from the tank and use the zoom, of course a tripod will also help

best thing is dont be afraid to play. too many people look at every shot and decide to keep or delete it right then. out of every 100 shots you take 10-15 should be keepers. the beauty of digital is nothing lost.
