What's wrong with the picture? It really looks like you just need to become a little more familiar with your camera. That shot is in focus, sharp and has good color. The rest is just practice.

Like beerguy said the picture is really not bad. Here are some links to taking good photos of your tank.

This article (http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-07/gr/index.php) will help too. It gives you some background to help with all the new terminology.
