Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Despite its name, this gorgeous screensaver reminds us more of the sea bottom than of an aquarium. Sim Aquariam Free Tank gives you quite a few configuration options, letting you add bubbles, change the frame rate, show the water surface, or add your own music. However, we really enjoyed the default bubbling-water sound, which adds great ambience. Though we were impressed with the realistic, high-quality graphics, we wish there were even more to look at. As it is, only a few fish swim across the screen at any given time in this free version, though if you pay you get a bunch more. In general, this is one of the better-looking aquarium screensavers we've seen, making it ideal for just about anyone.Publisher's description

Version: Sim Aquarium Free Tank 2.31
"Don't bother buying the full version"
Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Whether or not you purchase all 4 tanks - you only get one and there doesn't seem to be a way to get the others. The software tells you to download them separately but the download page that comes up only has option to download full program. So what's the point of buying the "deluxe" version when you just get Tank 4?

Pros: Like the look
Cons: Payed for the Deluxe version. Downloaded tanks 1 & 2. Didn't work so I contacted maker. Slow to repond, and now haven't responded to my inquiries.
Forget this program...not worth the HASSLES!
