The apparent depth of the objects in a 3D scene is controlled be the drivers of the 3D glasses. The same goes for the overlap on the sides of the screen. The Revelators have an excellent utility for adjusting these and several other parameters, using the function keys. I personally like to set the max foreground to the surface of the screen (the image will always be clearest that way), and the max background to 12 inches into the monitor.

Having the fish or any other moving object floating in front of the monitor causes visual problems when the object goes off the side of the screen. It would often be gone for one eye, but still there for the other. Setting the front depth to the glass of the monitor and the side clipping to the edges of the screen eliminates this problem and gives the effect which I intended -- that the monitor really IS an aquarium.
