I think I was using a low mm extension and the coral rock was about 6" from the glass along with the lens against the glass.
probably around 1/4 shutter speed no remote that time, but I do own one. will mirror lock up help under these condition's? I'm still learning about depth of feild, aperture etc.

Yes mirror lock up will also be beneficial but at that speed not a huge issue provided your tripod is half decent. Use the remote and manual focus and see if you can take the same shot and get better results. Keep posting new pics here as you go and we'll turn you into a pro in no time!

Do you think that a lower shutter speed will give me a better pic? say around 1 second plus? what would be the max shutter speed with pumps off? and if so, @ what shutter speed would I use mirror lock up? I shot in manual now, what do you mean by manual focus is it the focusing part at the end of the lens? then you might be right I might of over looked it when seting up everything on the camera at that time.

I think at that time it was around 1.8 F
Do you know if the eos utility is compatible with windows 7 laptop? I was hoping to use live shot/remote shooting!

I wouldn't decrease your shutter speed just yet, you got decent exposure there with ISO 80 and F8.0 at 1/4second. Going slower will only let you decrease (higher f number) your aperture from F8 which will give you more DOF but I would see what you get with proper focus first. I've shot over 1 second exposures before without the need for mirror lock up so I wouldn't bother with it until you believe it's actually causing an issue but if you want to try go nuts, won't do any harm.
You can shoot manual exposure but it might be easier to shoot in aperture priority (Av), start at F8 and adjust your exposure +/- to get a shutter speed that gives good exposure. This is similar to manual but sometimes a little easier. When I say manual focus this is different from manual exposure. I see now that you're using a Canon PowerShot A590 IS so not sure manual focus is an option. But if it is, it's manual way of setting the focus point which is normally done automatically when you push the shutter button half way down. Also set you white balance WB to custom and set it to your tank color by setting it while focused on something white/grey (sand usually works).
