This is well-documented. Although your 3D card is capable of displaying X number of frames, the Aquarium generates thousands of frames, certainly more than your video card needs.
I would monitor the temperature of your CPU and, if possible, you may wish to dial down the MHz of that processor to below the posted speed.

Note that the Aquarium uses processor cycles left over after every other program has done its thing.

Many people use the Aquarium as a screen saver non-stop with no ill effects to their computer.

This will be resolved in a future version of the Aquarium.
