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

In addition to enjoying the screensaver when your computer is idle, you'll find yourself hitting the instant activation switch to bring this ever-changing screensaver to life, so you can relax and admire its lifelike water world.
