Beautiful pictures. Did you use any photo editing software to enhance color or are they straight from the camera?

Steve, if you wish you could download the digital file off my photobucket on Flickr
 Ramon, Thanks for your appreciation! Nalchadz, yes, i use photshop cs5 for minor adjustments, contrast, color saturation and sharpening, thats about it. Thanks

You have some nice corals.
Please let me apologize ahead of time, as you may not appreciate my viewpoint. You asked for comments and in my opinion, the pictures are oversaturated and oversharpened. For me this creates an artificial feel which doesn't allow my appreciation of the beautiful animals in the pics to develop. A more natural, more accurate look would be preferable, in my opinion. I suppose it depends on whether your goal is to create a popping image or to accurately convey the appearance of the animals in the tank.

nice shots, OP
while the first one does seem saturated, it's not overly done, imo. Great shot! #3 does have a washed out/hazy appearance, but again, doesn't detract too much from the subject at all.
