Make sure you have the macro setting on and as was stated you can magnify & crop with great results. Thats what I do because I only have a little pocket camera. In fact my POTM & FTOTM pictures were almost all taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100 (8.1 MP). Someday I'll get a real camera with a real macro lense but for now this does the trick.

Yes, good advice. Set the camera to macro...but take advantage of your megapixels to crop extensively. Remember that you only need less than 1MP to post a really nice looking image online. That could be only 1/7 of your image area if you have a 7MP camera.
If you want to print, that's another story. But the resolution of most monitors is not even 1MP.

Are you using a tripod to take your pics with? You will see a world of difference if you use one!

If your focusing properly, the problem could be movement. Try turning off your return pump and powerheads. If your shooting with auto modes, try setting it to the sports setting, this will utilize the fastest shutter speed possible for the given light. It's also been suggested, but try putting your camera on a tripod and always shoot 90degrees to the glass..this will eliminate distortion.

A good trick that I learned is if you have a timer on your camera. Like mine has a 2 sec and a 15 second timer, I put it on the 2 second timer and I find it takes out the blurryness. I hope it works for you.
