This app does a great job at something no other developer has been able to execute on: tank design. There are some limitations that I wish I knew about in advance but not because I regret the purchase. - ornaments are limited to kitschy and what I think are mostly tacky things I'd never use in an aquarium (shipwreck, deep sea diver person, etc) there are some basic options that aren't bad but they don't fit the population of your tank with few exceptions (more below)- no landscaping just a backdrop (enhancement request: also selection of rocks and live rock and coral in addition to plants) - no freshwater species. Huge problem. No South American or African freshwater fins at all, which is weird considering the plant and landscape options you are permitted in Ornaments are often suited for South American species. So my gripes are mainly in that I really wanted to build a fancy reef tank with live rock and coral or really a nice densely rocked African cichlid tank but neither of those are possible currently. The software is certainly capable of doing it though so I hope my feedback is considered. I'm iffy on the in-app-purchase model but it makes sense to me as a user how it works which is something at least.

This has been a great addition to our study. Lots of options. Would love to see the ability to change the camera view over time with the reef setup.Update, from the developer:You can actually change camera views in the reef automatically. If you go to SETTINGS you can set SHUFFLE to 1, 5 or 10 minutes. When in that mode, if you are in the reef it will switch to a random camera view (there are 14) at the chosen intervals.

Sadly this app is not the virtual fish tank I had hoped for. It has a limited number of backgrounds, the ones available are as ugly as it gets, the graphics are very poor. The fish move in a choppy manner. I had hoped that this would be my virtual fish tank that I could play on my 50” inch tv in my study 24/7 as a dedicated virtual fish tank. I would be embarrassed if I had guests over and they saw this on my wall. I hope improvements and updates are to come in the future. I will change my review if that is the case.

Fish movements tend to be pretty mechanical - especially when moving up or down. Fish also swim through each other and through the ornaments. Would really be nice if we had the option to view the tank with the background & ornaments but without the glass.A little angry that I’ve spent money buying shells to add to my aquarium (added almost everything) and then they decide to unlock everything for everyone after I’ve already paid for it all!!
