Review:

The first time I saw this screen saver I was taken aback and mistakenley thought someone had a fish tank in their room. Upon further review, I was amazed at the quality and ambience this simple screen saver added to the room.

Unlike most downloadable screen savers on the internet, Aqua Real is a quality program, displaying 3d graphics and animating the fish in a realistic enough way to keep you staring.

Demo:
The demo version includes only a limited number of fish and fish type that swim around in the tank. It also includes some light settings which are faily simple to use along with options to toggle the bubble sizes.

Full Version:
With the full version, you can have up to 24 species of marine tropical fish, extra bonus fish and aquarium and a few extra options. An added plus to this unique screen saver is the implementation of collision detection so you don't see fish swimming through each other and through the coral reefs. The fish swimming is also randomized so you don't have the same pattern of fish going across your screen.

Ambience:
One feature that I especially like is the constant soothing bubble sound the screen saver made. This can be toggled on and off.

If you like more variety of fish (more than just 3-4) and added aquarium settings, I'd suggest you to invest in this. But even if you don't want to pay for a screen saver I'd strongly to suggest to download the demo.

Conclusion:

A very well made screen saver that is fun to watch and a good addition to the ambience of the room without paying for a real fish tank!
