i don't know about the settings and such personally, but i'm sure a couple things are going to be mentioned.

turn your pumps/powerheads off. it looks like in a couple pics that the corals are being with with some sort of flow, and that could cause a little blurriness.

and, if you're not already, use a tripod.

hope that helps a little.

You definitely need a good tripod . As kylerimb mentioned about stop all the wave in your tank before taking picture . Some picture taken from my D40 with the kit lens 18~55mm . I'm not really good on photographing and I'm using the "P" mode to adjust aperture only .

Some others picture take with 105mm macro lens ...

Here is a tip...Remember that only 1/3 of your depth of field is in front of your point of focus and 2/3's is behind that point. In macro photography, depth of field is your biggest challenge as it is very shallow since the distance from the lens to subject is usually very small. For that reason, pick your focal point as the place closest to the lens on the specimen. That way, you entire subject will be in focus. Also, using a tripod, get out of P mode(program), and got to A mode. Set your aperature as high as you can while maintaining a shutter speed that is reasonable to not have a blurred image due to camera shake or the subject moving.

Good luck, macro photography is a kick. I have loved macro photography as a scuba diver for sever years now.
