Can never get anything in focus and looking proper....HELP!

What camera what lense doea it have a stabalizer try using a trypod when you look thru the camera do you see clear pic or is it just like the picture
 
I have a Sony a33, I use anything from a Macro to a 18-55mm...55-200mm...you name it. I use a mono pod, tri pod, whatever i can...still a lot of nothin.
 
Make sure u don't shoot at anything lower then 1/60 shutter speed. If u do then hand shake will cause blurry pics. Especially the macro.
 
F stop and aperture same thing... So I'm assuming ur pic is 5.6.. Try changing ur shutter to 1/100 and put ur camera in shutter priority mode...
 
If here are lights in the aquarium then iso 1600 is too much
Tune it down to say iso 400 this helps in getting better pics in the sense of grainy pics

Second thing is the shitter speed should be shooting with a shutter speed of at least 120

Shutter mode and put iso 400 and shutter speed of more than 120 ( f stop should be also 7 If you want all the things in the pic in focus )

If that pic was shot with ISO 1600 there obviously is not much light. U don't need the fstop of 7 for everything in focus. He could shoot f/2.8 and get everything he needs in focus.. The background would be out of focus.. But I don't think that's his issue.
 
I have LEDs...I have also tried all of the scenarios, up close with the macro, far away with the 75-300, with a tripod and without...

BUT with the settings help that everyone is sharing with me and being lucky that these are digital and it doesnt matter that I have probably taken 200 pictures tonight...

The pictures are already starting to turn for the better!!

For example:
View attachment 4988
 
I agree at a Lower ISO, little higher shutter and maybe shoot during the day with the curtains open so you get a bit more light do open up your aperture as much as the lens is capable of. I recommend a prime lens 35mm that has an f stop of 1.8 for the low light conditions and faster shutter. you might find a macro prime I'm not
Sure of Sony lenses. And remember all lenses gave their minimum distance Of focus I think most all 18-55mm lenses are like 9 inches and then 55-200mm are like 1 meter. And macros are like 4 inches or so.

may i suggest you boost the shutter speed? If you have to get the ISO up a little more, try it. I usually shoot at 1/125 and get stuff like this:

1/200th shutter speed
F/5.6,
800 ISO

I took that shot with both blue lights and white lights on!

Hope it helps, moving objects need a faster shutter speed or will get blurry.

EDIT: If you need any help, let me know! I don't always get perfect pictures, but I know a little about LED's and pics since I own both xD

I agree. You can never have too much light in photography.
The settings you first posted seem okay.

First, there is a refractive effect that causes a loss of image quality when shooting through a glass flat at an angle. Try to shoot perpendicular to your subject or to reduce this to a minimum you should use a long focal length lens so that the angle from the lens to the edge of the field of view is reduced.

Kill your flow. This will keep things from blowing around and blurring your shot.

Using manual focus with a tripod is a must. If you have live view, turn it on, zoom all the way in, manually focus, turn off live view, take your photo.
