I use one of these. I set it up so the screws are tightened up on the focus ring of my 150mm macro lens. Camera is also setup on a tripod. Doing that allows me to rotate the housing to manually set focus. Generally i digitally zoom in on what i want to focus on to get sharper focus. I use a higher f/stop i think this was f20ish, ISO 500, and shutter speed of about 1/8th sec. I also use the metering function and set it to take the picture under exposed by a half step of so to help not blowing out some of the brighter spots. Hope that helps.
I take the pictures with the yellow filter under full spectrum lights and correct WB in lightroom.

Great pic. What kind of photo tube is that? Does it come with the yellow filter? Pretty cool idea. I've always had to do a lot more WB in photoshop to get things correct, but with a filter like that it would speed things up a bit.

Coral headz. Picked it up on ebay. You can get clear or the filtered one. I've found i get really nice pics with the full spectrum lighting and this filter. The raw pic is really yellow but lightroom does a great job bringing it back with the WB and hue(i think thats what its called) adjustments. I just adjust it until it matches what i see in the tank.
