Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This screensaver's mesmerizing 3D graphics may hypnotize you, but its extensive feature set will snap you out of your daze. Sim Aquarium transforms your desktop into an aquatic arcadia. You can customize your tank with surface, bubble, and sound effects, and you can even import audio files to create a rocking aquarium.The demo version includes five preset fish types and two tanks, whereas the paid version adds five tanks and lets you stock them with up to 41 species of fish. A word to the wise: Sim Aquarium takes up a hunk of hard-drive space and system resources, so make sure you have ample memory available. If you're looking for some aquatic magic for your desktop, this screensaver is for you.

Version: Sim Aquarium FreeTank 2.6
"It's OK for free. (apparently the paid version is better?)"
Pros: The few fish look nice. The water lighting is kinda nice, too. It really is free.
Cons: The settings are weak. No choice of what appears or how it appears, unless you buy and register the full version. The settings are basically a commercial for the full version, which gives choices of fish tanks. The free version looks totally bare.

Version: Sim Aquarium FreeTank 2.6
Pros: Of course, I love the fact that this is free.
Cons: The free option doesn't offer much scenary at all; just a few little fish swimming around. No coral.

Version: Sim Aquarium FreeTank 2.6
"free is free, trialware is trialware"
Pros: free for the trial period. not free after that
Cons: Tell the truth. Save people the hastle of installing stuff they think is free and need to uninstall if they don't want to pay for it.
