    I had never even given thought to such a contraption for photographing products, but I admit it does make a lot of sense. So, now, what about photographing discus? Is there also a simply, inexpensive setup to use?

    Diffusers also play a role in good fish photos. You can add a flash on top of your tank and add a layer of diffusion, can be as simple as a piece of paper, wax paper, styrofoam (be careful with this though as it can melt), and a slew of other materials. A diffuser helps spread out light in what otherwise would be referred to as "harsh" lighting.
