John, First, welcome to the forums!

The framerate limiter is there, it just has a different name: SLEEP.

Press S to see your current Sleep amount.

Press UP and DOWN to change the sleep amount. It defaults to 10, but you can probably get to 20-30 on a high end system and not see any major loss in framerate yet it will put less stress on your system.

Hopefully in a later version, it will have a more promising name like Limit Framerate. Then again, what I would love is an "Autodetect Framerate" button which runs the Aquarium, looks at the framerate over a span of about 10 seconds, and then adjusts the Sleep setting to give you a framerate of 60 fps with nothing extra.

Thanks for the info, I have a frame rate of about 110 now (was over 900) and all is well.

It seems strange to have such a critical setting hidden, rather on the display panel in the options menu...
