LOL I am not a professional sorry. I have been into photography for years and am self taught. I would be willing to give some pointers if you like.

The reason I don't like using higher ISO is because the higher the ISO the more grainy it is. There is software out there to reduce it but it can take away form the sharpness of the photo. Try shooting with the S mode. This will allow you to control the aperture and will let the camera control the shutter. It is a good way to get an idea of where to start on the f/stop range. A tripod, remote and no pumps is key when it comes to shooting corals in the tank. Fish are a little bit more tricky. That is when I increase the ISO a bit, speed up the shutter a bit and open up the aperture.
