Photographing a bow front tank

I recently bought a bow front tank and didn't imagine that photographing would be that different until I saw all the reflections from every angle so took a ton of shots in with different settings and I would like to shared what worked for me.

Here's a picture I just took, I just did PS auto-levels and resized it.

No Flash

Hope this helps people with Bow Fronts 'cause I was really disappointed for a while

Does anyone else have one of these, its always changing positions... when the MHs are on it climbs to the highest point in the tank, when they MHs are off if kinda shrinks and hides lower within the tank.
