CalcNormals makes the lighting on the fish look minimally better.

It doesn't work real well on certain cards and causes a performance drop, which is why it went from being optional, default ON to optional, default OFF back in the 99 versions of the Aquarium.

I doubt anyone uses Calc Normals and if they do, they'll set it and forget it vs turning it on and off periodically.

To toggle the Calculate Normals setting, press N. Often, the only way to tell it's on is your FPS goes down 8%.
