Marine Aquarium

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This screensaver shows the serene beauty of the underwater world. The installation is fast, and Marine Aquarium launches on your desktop in seconds. The screensaver has fish, coral, plants, and other underwater objects. The water sound is a great feature that makes you feel like you're looking at the underwater world from a bathyscaphe. Most of the screensaver settings are basic, such as sound volume and screen resolution, but you can also add fish from the list. The program turns out to be educational, since the entry for each fish lists its full name, Latin name, location, and other facts. Its realistic representation puts Marine Aquarium head and gills above its competitors.

Publisher's Description

From Prolific Publishing:

You've seen aquarium programs before, but you've never seen anything like this screensaver. The marine life is so vibrant you won't believe your eyes. These fish are actual 3D models, not flat images dragged across the screen. The fish bend, turn, and swim just like real fish.

This updated version includes the ability to use SereneScreen Marine Aquarium as a screensaver or as a standalone application, a new user interface, and five new fish for a total of 26. The unparalleled beauty continues.

What's new in this version: Version 3.0 has total of 6 moving background objects and includes Clock/Calendar.

    "I'm Impressed!"

    February 2, 2012  |   By northern_star_52

    Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1

    Pros

    Very Relaxing View. It is like having an Aquarium without the cleanup. Previous users wished the music could be turned off. My version allows me to turn off music and just have sound of bubbles. Nice.

    Cons

    None that I know of.

    "it's ok for free."

    Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1

    Pros

    Colors are bright, fish are quite realistic!

    Cons

    screensaver hangs up at times, the music is a nuisance (why not bubbles?), pressing any key will not clear the screen - you have to hit the escape key.

    Summary

    it's ok for free.

    "One of my favorite screensavers."

    September 16, 2011  |   By cngamer

    Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1

    Pros

    This can entertain kids for hours, especially if you are running in high resolution with a good enough graphics card. It looks so real at times! The full version has many fish to choose from and many settings to customize.

    Cons

    Just make sure you set it correctly if you're using a widescreen monitor so that you can get the full enjoyment out of it.

    Summary

    Pretty and low cost way to be nicely entertained for hours by a screensaver. Almost realistic at times.

    "Very vivid & lifelike. Easy to install."

    September 11, 2011  |   By Novella

    Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1

    Pros

    The fish pre-selected are a nice variety and enough to be swimming around. The overal look is very life-like, looks just like an aquarium without having to have all the expense & fuss!

    Cons

    Only plays one song. I had hoped for just the sound of soft bubbles like an aquarium. So I just mute my computer sound.

    Summary

    The free verson is a delight to have as a screensaver. No fuss, no muss.

    "Real looking fish, in a beautiful reef setting."

    February 16, 2010  |   By sherbisness

    Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1

    Pros

    The Demo was excellent, saw many types of ocean fish that are reef dwellers. natural fish movements. Very good sound effects, bubbles, and relaxing music that you can choose. Very relaxing experience. I might buy it.

    Cons

    No cons really, but personally I prefer tropical fish,

    Summary

    I like Marine Aquarium 3 very much. The Demo was excellent, and easy to use and understand. For people that want a realistic Marine reef screen saver, I would highly recommend it. Personally I chose to buy Dream Aquarium because it is also excellent and has the tropical fish that I prefer.
