Not a problem at all.

Some tips are :

1- Must shoot with a Tripod if you want crispy macro
2- Shot perpendicular to the glass
3- Tweak the White balance to match the tank lighting
4- Use the multiple shot mode, more chance of getting a good shot.
5- Shot in Raw if possible, so you have more flexibility in post possessing
6- Use some photoshop or any photo editing program to sharpen and improve white balance in pics
7- Get a bigger CARD, hehe
8- Have fun shooting and shooting!!!!
