"Always wanted a fish tank. Now I have one."
Version: Sim Aquarium 2.71
Pros
Crisp graphics. Realistic fish and background. Good sound. Seems like a lot of thought went into the product.
Cons
Nothing to dislike.

Could do with a few more fish to make it more interesting but apart from that, brilliant!

"Does not work on Win7"
Version: Sim Aquarium 2.71
Pros
I loved SIM Aquarium on XP on my old Dell. That version was worth 5 stars. Beautiful lifelike fish, choice of tanks and excellent moving plants.
Cons
On new Win7 Dell the tank was not full-screen, and the fish stopped appearing. I wrote twice to support and was ignored. I asked for a refund, but I'm obviously not going to get it. Now I have Marine Aquarium 3 and won't look back.
Summary
On Win7: Small tank, no fish, no support, no refund.

"unrealistic and boring"
Version: Sim Aquarium 2.71
Pros
it was easy to download, install and delete !
Cons
the fish didn't look realistic enough.
Summary
I was searching for the best aquarium screen saver, one that I could buy and enjoy every day, one that would make me feel that I was viewing a real aquarium, Sim Aquarium did not fit my requirements.
Only one Aquarium screen saver software product did make me smile all over, that is Dream Aquarium. I bought it, it has been perfect, I am extremely happy with Dream Aquarium, and highly recommend it. -

"IT CONSISTENTLY HUNG MY VISTA SYSTEM."
Version: Sim Aquarium 2.71
Pros
The actual graphics were pretty cool.
Cons
I hate when you say it's free and then it turns out to be a trial. I'm not sure what you get for free. I hated the fact that it shoved into my face how many days I had left every time it was invoked. Free should be free, not free for 2 weeks!
Summary
Aside from the fact that it was not free, it would hang my system (Vista unfortunately, but that's another story!) over the course of a few hours of coming up & down. I'd have to run task manager to free my system up -- just bringing the task manager up was enough. I enjoyed the graphics, but it wasn't spectacular enough to pay for in $$$ or inconvenience.

"Doesn't work as advertised."
Version: Sim Aquarium 2.6d
Pros
I tried the demo version on my Vista 64 bit system and it worked as advertised.
Cons
I then purchased the full version with screens #3 and #4, 'lite' version and got the authentication code. Having entered it and chosen tank #4 and 12 fish, all I got was the same old empty 'demo' fish tank.
Summary
When I tried to contact the seller's onlne FAQ or Help website, my browser was unable to reach any of them. They seem to be inactive. Do not purchase this software. It's a scam.
