Much better! A steady hand always makes for a good shot. Make sure you have your arms braced well on the tank to avoid "the shakes"

I usually get about 1 picture I'm happy with out of every 20 or so so you're about average I'd say

Great clam shot!! For reef shots I personally jut use the fastest shutter speed available (sports setting for the auto setting crowd) As depth of focus is usually not an issue unless you are trying for a sense of tank depth picture, this will greatly increase the sharpness of your pic. We are talkin about reefs here so the lighting should handle the fast shutter speeds.
Just my 2.5 cents. (Got a hacksaw for Christmas, had to try it out.)

isn't the fastest shutter speed on a d70 something like 1/8000th of a second?
