Actually, the light that I randomly [*] have chosen for my tanks seem
to look like daylight to Provia 400, so just using that means no cc
filters necessary.
[*] of course, not randomly chosen, but definitely not chosen
explicitly to be good for photographing :)

Uhmm.....I assume Kathy has bigger tanks than I, but in general I
prefer to have the fish close to the glass. The less water between me
and the fish, the better for the quality of the photo. I would not
really consider the 90/2 a "step up" from the 50mm. I'd have to back
away farther from the tank glass.....
