Judges for this competition:-

And yours truly
Get your cameras out and start taking those photos.
A few tips. CLEAN the glass first. This is most important. Many good photos are ruined by spots on the glass.
If you use flash, stand slightly to the side so you don't get reflection in the glass.
Heaters and other equipment are essential in tanks, but they do nothing for your photos. Take highly visible equipment out before you start photographing.
Most photos are best with lots of tank lights turned on, and the room lights turned off. If you can, take a light from another tank, to double the amount of light in your photo tank.
Good luck, and happy snapping.
Enter your photos in the official entry thread in the Photo Forum.
