I haven't tried this yet. Anyone here have experience with it?

It's either this or get a macro lens for me.

i told you about it...maybe you dont remember...
in my opinion this is not a easy thing to do...
needs hell lot of practice...
my friend did it with good results...
i tried it with with my macro and the prime...i was not brave enough to tape the 2 lens together...hand held was really hard...
i would say get a macro still...for fish it would be a lot easier...and you can get filter glass, put on the new macro...and attach a old lens or cheap lens to it..
it would be most likely a 1:2 instead of the 1:1

Just trying to give you little tips for the next phtoto comp.

On that note, someone needs to step up and slap Jim and his weak pictures.

You most likely did. I was either to drunk or just didn't understand at all what you were talking about!
