This would be my dream lens for aquarium photographing. Its one of the cheapest L series lenses but still at almost $900. I can't justify it, but man I have sure come close a couple times.

 

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM

The 100mm USM macro (non L) is the best bang for your buck IMO.

 

I have it, but would take the L if I had the cash - I use the 100mm as a tele for portraits a lot and wouldn't mind having the IS for slower shutter speeds.

My pick for the 5D would be the Canon 100mm f/2.8L. For extreme macros, nothing beats the Canon MP-E 65mm. Though, the Sigma 150mm would be a excellent choice also.
