Will you have a scrolling screen across Tri-monitor setup.
i feel alot of people want this option. Aquarium is amazing thanks
but backround is stationary when using tri monitor setup
with reolution (1280x3)or 3840x768...

Welcome to the forums!

I'm glad you like the Aquarium on your 3 displays. Unfortunately there's nothing left to scroll when displaying on 3 screens. The Aquarium is technically 2 1/2 screens wide and the top and bottom are being cropped off slightly to make it fit on 3.

in dreamaquarium...(i love yours 1000 times better)
they have a feature to follow one fish or different fish and magnifies backround AND fish and has scrolling across multiple monitors...
have you seen this or is this in your planning.

Well I'm not the developer, but I can make some further comments about it...

The coral in Marine Aquarium 3 is a composite of 3D objects and textures that only work from a certain angle. Zooming in would reveal gaps and limitations of the 3D artwork. So I doubt we'll see such a feature.

Correct.
