There's no such thing as "feature complete". Even after 10 years of Marine Aquarium, people ask for new features every day. There will be additions and imnprovements to MA3 for years to come, even after the Freshwater Aquarium and other SereneScreen products are released.

The Freshwater Tank is still a long way off. It's true that I showed Morgan a test of it several years ago, but at that point it was really just the gravel, a bubblling tresure chest and four fish. One advantage is that I don't need to bring it over to DirectX8 - it already uses the new framework. In fact, when I started writing MA3 I began with the Freshwater Tank code, not MA 2.6. It took me about a year to create all the background objects in MA3, and the same would be true for Freshwater.
