Barry, the top down or in tank pix are much better than trying to shoot through the glass, IMHO. I know that looking at my corals through the top down box, they are much more colorful than through the acrylic. Glass is even worse, as you have that green tint from the glass filtering them.

The big thing that I don't like about through the glass is that if you are any amount off of perpendicular to the glass you start to get distortion and bluring!
