I think I have came to the conclusion that the bigger the glass... the worst the distortion you will get through thick glass..

I used to laugh at the people at the vancouver aquarium taking pictures with their phones...

then I tried it on my home aquarium,,, and voila,, the pictures are "gooder"...

give it a try and post your results....

You notice more blemishes or "distortion" with nicer lenses/cameras mostly due to its better image quality.

With a quality DSLR/lens, proper technique and post processing, there is no way it will come out worse looking than iPhone pics.

Let me know if you need help.

* a CPL, or Circular Polarizing Filter may be a welcome addition on compatible lenses as it will drastically reduce glare/reflection on aquarium glass

** lens distortion is generally more rampant in wide/ultra-wide angle lenses, which can be fixed in post processing
