Nice pics, your focus and depth of field are good, maybe a little more iso to brighten them up a little. Also since your sand is still nice and white use the preset WB and use your sand to set it.

Also using photoshop or similar program can really help, especially when you're stating out, just use the auto correct and it can do wonders sometimes.

WB is your white balance you had it set to fluorescent, you should be able to set it to preset or custom. After selecting it you can set it by taking a picture of something white in your aquarium which will set the right WB for your lighting. You'll have to check your manual for further detail.
