OK, so I've got a good quality DSLR on the way, and I'm hoping my tank will be in half-decent shape for an IAPLC entry.
I'm going to start by taking pictures in the darkened room, camera on tripod, using the luminaire as my sole light source (2x24w pinkish fluorescents and 1x 150MH - I may turn the tubes off). But I guess my 'white' background will need additional lighting chucked straight at it to come up white, not grey/green. If that happens I've got two options - get some additional lighting, or get a black background.
If you had, say, about £500 to spend on some additional lighting, what would you go for? Flash or continuous? Any particular makes/models?
My tank is 100x45x55(tall), camera is Canon 500D with a 17-55mm f2.8 lens.
