love the product!

7/25/2010

I love this product. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it would be nice to have a choice of aquarium backgrounds. To be able to change that once in a while would be nice. Other than that, being able to change the lighting and the fish is great. They look very realistic... almost as good... but in some ways better than a real aquarium. You don't have to worry about cleaning the tank or having the fish die. My granddaughter loves it and wants it to play all of the time. I love having the soothing bubble sound. I had to turn the bubble column off because it didn't pay properly, but once I did that, I still had the sound just not the bubbles. Love it.

It doesn't work on Mac OS X

12/1/2009

I couldn't get it to work on my iMac or my MacBook Pro laptop. It just doesn't work on 10.5 or higher. I had to install it on my other laptop which has Windows (XP) and it worked fine. The software itself looks nice though and I just wish that I could enjoy it on my iMac. I didn't return it since it was only 5 bucks and not worth it.

MARINE AQUARIUM 2.5 UNABLE TO MAKE IT WORK AND SELLER UNWILLING TO COMPENSATE PURCHASER

10/13/2009

I PURCHASED MARINE AQUARIUM 2.5 AND TRIED REPEATEDLY AND UNSUCCESSFULLY TO DOWNLOAD IT. I SENT 2 EMAILS TO THE SELLER AND HE REPLIED THAT HE WAS NOT THE MANUFACTURER AND HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT.

INCIDENTALLY I TRIED TO MAKE USE OF ASSISTANCE AT THE WEBSITE OF NEW MEDIA MERCHANT AND WAS UNABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH THEY INDICATED THAT ASSISTANCE WAS AVAILABLE.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN AMAZON PURCHASE AND I HAVE MADE QUITE A FEW. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED I DOUBT THAT I WILL USE AMAZON AGAIN.

Marine Aquarium lacks what Dream Aquarium Provides

9/26/2009

If you are looking for a realistic fishtank you should consider Dream Aquarium. The movement in Marine is hokey and not realistic at all. Reading the forums from the programmer I am left feeling that the programmer doesnt have any good customer relations as he seems to indirectly tell his customers that are unhappy "BYE" and seems to complain alot about eating peanut butter. Personally I want my money back and will spend any future monies on Dream Aquarium. I recommend to anyone looking for a realistic fish screensaver to try out Dream Aquarium and avoid Marine Aquarium like the plague.

Warning! Do not buy if you have Mac OSX Snow Leopard

9/24/2009

While this is currently the best looking screen saver -- Marine Aquarium is not compatible with OSX Snow Leopard. When going to them for support they basically said, "tough luck" and that they had "no plans" to do anything about this any time soon and "no refunds". If this is how they want to treat their customers I recommend looking for something else.
