Also, I'd guess we would be using a remote control or timerto pull the trigger, and possibly have a larger front heavy primary lens (medium telephoto macro 2.8).
Should we look for something that can hold one of those macro geared lateral arms:

Do we need any special eye piece or lens tip (don't want to tip the tripod into the acrylic and scratch it...) accessories?
Thanks, Kenneth.

In my experience, there is nothing unique about aquarium shooting with respect to your tripod. Nearly every tripod will collapse to 30" so that's really not a concern. I always advocate buying a tripod that fits you when standing straight up. You can always shorten the legs for a lower vantage point.
I've never found a need for a macro rail. As long as your platform is stable it's not that difficult to achieve a good focus.
