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 Meticulous Software:
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.

"High quality, relaxing screen saver"
Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1
Pros
Love the music and the "video" is somewhat mesmerizing.
Cons
Should "turn off" if you hit ANY key rather than only the "Escape" key.
Summary
Price is right. One can change again if one tires of it. So far, I haven't.

"One of the Best Aquarium Screensavers"
Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1
Pros
Graphics are good, motions are OK. Options are good, and music is good. No apparent stabillity issues (trial version).
Cons
Fish motions could be more realistic.
Summary
This is a slam-dunk compared to AquaScape, 3D Aquarium, and SIM. To me, it is slightly better than Dream Aquarium-- the motions aren't as good as dream, but the graphics are more 3-D and realistic.

"Old School Graphics"
Version: Marine Aquarium 3.1
Pros
Salt water aquarium
Cons
Mediocre graphics. Limited adjustments.
Summary
It's OK for Free. Try Dream Aquarium.

"I'm Impressed!"
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."
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."
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.
-

Would recommend.

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