You'd be surprised! :erm: :eek:

Hey, I wasn't even going to replace the gall bladder - just take it out and throw it away. :)

And you were going to use your man-lifter, your spanner set and your hammer for that, were you? :D

I also have a big set of Xacto knives, which should work nicely. Don't worry, I'd hose them off before use.

hahahahaha Now your talking. Well at least I know where to go if I ever need mine out. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies...racter0264.gif

Nicole, I'd love to read your book when it's done too! You know, Marian has written a couple books. Perhaps she can give you some advice.

I would like to see tank options for African Lake Cichlids and also for Discus.

I'd love a Malawi Cichlid aquarium-all the colors of Marine style
 

The Malawi cichlid or chichlids have the most colorations for freshwater fish. I miss my 75gal tank so much - but then again I also miss my 45 and 29gal tanks of "Chicklets" as my daughter used to call them. They are a hardy fish too. Oh well, whatever it ends up being it'll be awesome! Hello to everyone!:lol:

Those are freshwater fish. I had origianlly planned to add a freshwater tank, and might still some day.

Yes a blue-eyed pleco, please!

It is really sad that this project was never finished, we saw screen shots yaers ago, and it did look fantastic... Morgan had a chance to see it live, the bubble chest must be amazing.
Time flies - as long as the universe is still expanding ;-)

If only it were possible to see what already exists of this project...

I would love for this to get developed as there really are not that many freshwater aquarium simulations out there that are more than just a curiosity. I can't think of any other than Dream Aquarium that I would recommend to a friend. Aquazone Open water has a nice Amazon River add on but it's quite expensive on top of the main program and not an aquarium.

Hi Jim:

In case you're anything like me, getting started is the hardest part of any project. I know. However, once I push myself to start a project and I develop a certain amount of momentum, then I can't stop until I finish it. I know you have a lot on your plate, but you would feel good about fulfilling your goal, and you would put many smiles on the faces of all those who see a real fresh water aquarium by you, the 'Master' of aquariums.

Sincerely,

As many of you know, for the past 3 1/2 years I've had custody of my Alzheimer's mother, and have not been able to concentrate on much else. She's been declining steadily, and I don't expect her to last much longer.

Our thoughts are with you, Jim.

.... And our many thanks for all you have done for SereneScreen Aquarium over the past years!

At times like this there is not much one can say.. except as Cliff said above, Our thoughts are with you.

Having looked after my Mother while she was terminally ill (although luckily not with any form of dementia, well except very briefly, and very scarily, due to an infection that could be cured) you have my greatest sympathy...

Very sorry for you and the fam.

Jim says he's not doing the Freshwater Aquarium. He's still planning on creature packs though.

what does that mean he is not doing the Freshwater Aquarium?
Guys do you think it will be created one day?

Nice avatar, carju!

Frankly.. Unfortunately.. No. There is not enough demand for PC style screen savers to warrant much development.

The only place where there, may.. be some development is for the plethora of gadgets.. smart phones.. tablets.. smart TV... but then mostly to capture the eye of the purchaser as an advertisement. In my opinion..:sad:

15 years and even more I have been dreaming of it and waiting for it... still hahing my marine aquarium as a screen saver... so sad...

Thank you!! 👌🙏

If this project is still onboard, what I'd like to see is a large, realistic, heavily-planted and aquascaped tank - like a Leiden or Amano aquarium. Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, Discus, schooling Cardinal Tetras, other tetra species, Pencilfish, Black-Lace Veil-Tail Angels, Betta, Corydoras species, small algae eaters, Banjo-fish, Red-Tailed Sharks, Moonlight gourmais and Rasbora... are all good possibilities.

Given the last post in this thread was well over 2 years ago.. don't be holding your breath. Technology.. Age and Castles have moved forward.. Screen saver development, not so much.

I had planned all of those things for the Freshwater Tank, but nobody buys screensavers any more.

But Jim, SereneScreen is not a "screensaver", SereneScreen is Art In Motion!
It is a fish tank requiring no maintenance and no feeding.
It is Therapy after a long day's work (and unruly customers)

SereneScreen is the BOSS.

Thanks, Igohigh :)
