For a start, you don't need all kind of fancy gear to take nice pictures of your tank.
If you have a tripod, make sure it's sturdy. Then, just the self timer mode instead of pressing the shutter release yourself as it'll cause camera shake. Also, make sure you cover any stray light source that may affect the exposure. Ambient light should be switched off and stray light from the tank should be covered in black paper. As such, it's probably best to shoot at night.
Post some pictures and we can help you check on what can be further improved.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
