Yah I'm thinking less than a hundred lol I mean I could just go buy a nice webcam and come up with some kind of glass housing for it. But I was hoping I could find one made for aquariums.

I'm talking submersible. I plan on connecting it to a couple motors and to my arduino, so I can move it anywhere in the tank. But I need a camera that can handle the water.

Wait spitfire do you mean a totally enclosed box or just one that floats?

GoPros have waterproof cases. I'm dying to get one to put in my tanks. They're a bit more than $100 tho.
