another way is to make sure the tank is alot brighter than the surrounding. best is to take pics at night. off all the lights in the room n only on the tank lights. thats what i usually do.

on top of what all the other guys have said,

the one that will reduce the most reflections from your glass is a circular polariser..

nope... you can place a remote flash on top of the tank.
some works by wireless (if you have a hotshoe), some works when it senses the main flash goes off (seems like the latter is less reliable).
