Sounds Great....I have a grand-daughter and her husband that are into REAL aquariums... The salt water, club meets at their house etc. ....They like your work....

Mr. Jim,
I have had a black screen behind my photo for over a year on facebook. I managed to grab a screen shot of my screen saver and post it. I have gotten several positive responses....I grabbed another shot that had the crystal with your logo on it.... Also I commented on my post with your URL to help pay you back for such good work. If I have crossed over any copywrite laws let me know and I will take them down, If I know how..Marie Malone .

This still on the to do list?

Oh Boy, God I hope so............... That would bring everyone back daily for sure.

Jim Sachs · 01-09-2016, 01:03 AM

Marie Malone - thanks for the advertising.

Ralph and Ed - yep, still on the ToDo list.

ESHIREY · 01-09-2016, 12:10 PM

That is the best news I have heard in a long time....... I was hoping this year would be better then last year, because last year was the worst in my life. Thanks for the news buddy. Your the best.

Where is that thread where we post screenshots of Marine Aquarium as seen on TV and Movie?
Anyways, I was re-watching Extras and noticed it in the background of The Difficult Second Album snippet, probably from around 2007.

WOW, I just saw that this was posted back in 16. How are things going Jim and are you still working on this beautiful program?

Jim Sachs · 02-27-2021, 09:37 PM

Not lately. Still working on the castle. Trying to move in tomorrow,

Ralph · 02-28-2021, 07:59 AM

Taking a long time to move in..

I think recall you moving in a few months ago

Jim Sachs · 02-28-2021, 11:12 AM

Reichart moved in. He left for Maui today, so my wife and I can move in now.

patscarr · 03-01-2021, 07:20 AM

Finally moving in! Congratulations! We'd love to see some pictures of the finished product.

Tarkus · 03-01-2021, 09:46 AM

Glad to see a lot of the gang still here. Still using MA3 as my screen saver most of the time, and it looks as good as ever.

patscarr · 03-01-2021, 10:17 AM

How is Reichart? What's he up to these days?

Jim Sachs · 03-02-2021, 10:43 AM

Reichart was on his way from Florida to Thailand and stopped by here for a couple of days. That was in January of 2020. Then Covid hit, and he was stuck here for 14 months. He and his girlfriend have been living in my Castle (which is really a construction site), while my wife and I stayed in our little house in town. A month ago they had tickets to Maui, but his girlfriend had an accident and has been recuperating. Anyway, they finally made it to Maui and my wife and I are moving in.

BTW I got an update for the iOS version very recently and it now runs as 64-bit... sound's disappeared after the phone went to sleep, but it was a very nice surprise

FanForever · 12-28-2021, 11:50 PM

First, I have to say I absolutely LOVE this program. I have been a silent fan since the very first version! In fact, during a recent visit to the dentist (he had the screen saver playing on the ROKU) I gave him a history lesson about the program.

He had no idea how long it has been around for about 20 years. My aquarium is my go-to when I want to relax . . . turn off all the lights and turn on the fish! I have been waiting and waiting for something new, though.

In a forum you said there were not many sales so why update. My answer to that is we have all bought the program and are waiting for the next update to start buying again.

I continue to use my older version on my classroom computer and the students are always impressed.

Favorites: My grandson and I love when the starfish lifts a part of itself (wish it still got on the glass) and the eel makes an appearance (he is 3 and giggles when this happens). I personally love the bright colors of the fish and the aquarium itself. Additions I would like to see would be some bottom dwellers-like a small crab scuttling across the rocks. Maybe a snail crawling across the glass to "clean." A small shark or puffer for something different. Please, please, please keep those creative juices flowing.

uczmeg · 12-30-2021, 09:22 AM

Still, my go-to screen saver and was so pleased it worked on my M1 MacBook Pro and M1 Air.

My old 2016 MBP went into fan overdrive if it had to cope with the laptop display and my 34" Ultra Widescreen monitor.

The M1 Air doesn't even flinch powering both with maximum fish (although I stop at 20 as more is too crowded on the laptop screen).

Grazie lo porto con me sempre

MA3 works great on my new Win 11 tower (Intel CPU, NVIDIA RTX 3060 TI graphics, twin UHD monitors)

. I had removed MA3 from my Win 10 machine, because after a number of years it was no longer getting along with the system. I'm very happy to have MA3 back up and running again.
