I think I have came to the conclusion that the bigger the glass... the worst the distortion you will get through thick glass..
I used to laugh at the people at the vancouver aquarium taking pictures with their phones...
then I tried it on my home aquarium,,, and voila,, the pictures are "gooder"...
give it a try and post your results....

You notice more blemishes or "distortion" with nicer lenses/cameras mostly due to its better image quality.
With a quality DSLR/lens, proper technique and post processing, there is no way it will come out worse looking than iPhone pics.
Let me know if you need help.
* a CPL, or Circular Polarizing Filter may be a welcome addition on compatible lenses as it will drastically reduce glare/reflection on aquarium glass
** lens distortion is generally more rampant in wide/ultra-wide angle lenses, which can be fixed in post processing
