dual monitor salt water fish tank screen saver?

automatic-hydromatic · 02-19-2011, 03:44 PM

sure why not

Just picked up a spare monitor at a garage sale for a whopping $20, so I hooked it up to use as a second display mainly to watch TV on since my PC also functions as my DVR and TV. A cool side effect is that the Marine Aquarium 3 screen saver spans across both monitors and looks really neat

I wish they were the same size, but eh, for $20 I can't complain, lol

That one is called Marine Aquarium 3. I bought version 2 a while ago, and grabbed 3 as soon as it came out too because I was so impressed with the previous one.

It's only salt water, but I have another called Dream Aquarium that does fresh water too, but it doesn't span across two monitors. Instead it can only do two separate virtual tanks per screen instead of combining both screens as one tank like the other does. The fish move a little more life-like in the Dream Aquarium one though, but the scenery graphics don't look as good as Marine Aquarium's do either, so they both have their pros and cons.
