Summary: Impressive w/out a hassle!
Review: While I can understand the former response regarding the realism of this DVD, I will have to say that if a real aquarium is what you want, this DVD comes close, but is no substitute. If your goal, however, is to have a relaxing moving picture to brighten up your dark square, this DVD is awesome! There is a slight bit of cloudiness, but not enough to warrant a "pass" on this opportunity. Unfortunately, the new age/mood music isn't the best. But, you're not buying this for the music. You're buying this for the visual spectacle. As for the other audio options, the fish tank sound fx are a bit hollow. However, the surround sound ocean waves is VERY good! If you have the option on your receiver, it is better to set the video to the DVD, and have a personal CD as the audio. I am very happy with this purchase. For a [money] investment, I'm very pleased. Nice work!

Summary: Care-Free Fish
Review: With 5 tanks to choose from (1 freshwater, 4 marine), there's quite a bit of variety on this DVD. The tanks range from your typical fishtank, with species many will recognize, to a really exotic coral reef-like tank with more unusual species. (The "fishographies" will tell you more about them.) There are 4 different soundtracks to choose from while you watch the fish. Meditation and Relaxation, however sound mostly alike to me, being somewhat-weird electronic stuff. Surf is quite pleasant and soothing. The Bubbles soundtrack I find too loud and distracting (even with the volume down), and it doesn't sound like a fish tank's bubbling to me at all. I prefer the close-up views to the full-tank. It's easier to see the fish, and it's not at all jarring when the focus goes from one fish to the next. You can put the program you've selected on "repeat" which will play the track in a continuous loop. According to the box, there are 15 hours of unique programming. This is an okay DVD; it's not outstanding, and it's not awful. It IS a much easier way to keep fish than to have a real, live tank.
