Yes
Going there tomorrow which lens is favourite 35mm,90mm,18-70mm or 70-300mm cheers
 
No flash allowed so the fastest lens you have at a very high ISO!
 
What is a deep hull?
 
WB is a nightmare there so shoot in RAW and correct in PP. Ensure you have a lens hood as you can press it to the side of the tank to exclude reflections.
 
Did a wedding there early on this year - tough conditions!
 
Thanks guys would a filter be any benefit and what's the highest ISO I should use with a d7100
 
No filter needed. Can't help with the ISO query as I'm not a Nikon user.
 
Thanks the two lens seem to be 35mm f1.8 or 90mm f2.8 not sure which cheers

TBH, I would be tempted to take the fastest on the camera but have the longer of the pair in a pocket. If possible, get rubber hoods for both - as said above, press the front of the hood against the glass (and hold it there) and use the flex when aiming/composing. I use this method when shooting through glass whenever possible and it cuts out more reflections than even a polariser can (although some reflections do creep past when shooting through double glazing). IF light levels are high, a polariser can help but that will cut the light considerably - not ideal in that situation.

Not sure what the max useable ISO is on the D7100 - I would think you should get away with 800 at least - have a play and see what You're happy with WRT noise etc. Don't be tempted to flout the no flash rule - at best, you're likely to get thrown out and at worst, it could potentially lead to a complete ban on photography there. If you can't get any decent pix of your own, buy a few postcards!

spot on with this post ,set camera to iso 800,and even left on auto and got some decent shots,these fast lens really do let a lot of light in never realised how much thanks
 
When I went I used a 35 f2 and 50 f1.4 on my 5D3 and the wifes 650D and swapped regularly. On my 5D3 I managed to get some good shots with the 35 f2 at f2.8, 1/100sec and ISO up to 2000. You just have to watch the minimum focus distance on occasions as the fish come pretty close to you.

Here's one I got with the 35 f2 and 5D3, set at the settings above and then cropped to get the view I wanted. Also, watch the distortions in the glass as it can ruin the shots easily.
