I asked around about that this is and they say its bubble algae. But as soon as I say its RED everyone gets a puzzled look on their face.

Here is a pic... Its on my LR in my 28 gal. Its algae isn't it???

try pushing the shutter button down half way until it beeps, flashes or something, than push it down the full way. this is how mine focuses.

Yeah I keep doing that and it goes through the auto focus motions... but it never locks on to what I want. Even using a spot meter.

Its a Sony CD Mavica with The laser finder. The Laser is probably getting thrown off by the glass.

Any way to turn the laser off? you can get a good simple camera for the price of a couple of fish.

Nah, I am looking into getting an SLR film camera. That maybe the way to go. Then I can control all aspects of it.

Not even really necessary any more. There are so many places that will develop film and give you a CD with your pictures too.... a scanner isn't one of the required components to use film. Since I can't afford a Digital SLR, I too had thought about a decent Canon 35mmSLR for $150... or even hitting the Pawn Shop and seeing if I can find a cheap used SLR.
