How to use
  • Drag empty space to look around the tank; wheel zooms; click empty space to deselect, double-click it for straight-on.
  • Drag a fish to move it: parallel to the glass when viewed from the front, across the floor plan from above, front/back from the side.
  • Split tank (Compare) makes an independent copy beside this one; click a view to edit that tank. The padlock between the views links or frees their cameras. Save… keeps both tanks in one file; Save on a view's tab saves that tank on its own.
  • Shift + wheel moves the selected fish forward/back. Del deletes, F flips, Ctrl+D duplicates, Ctrl+Z undoes.
  • Fish are drawn at adult size. A fish further back looks smaller exactly as it would through real glass at the viewing distance below.
  • Your tank is saved in this browser automatically. Use Save… to keep a file or share it.

Cabinet and frame stands match the tank's footprint; a table is bigger, with the tank anywhere on it, and the wall and person keep clear of its edge. Peninsula puts the tank's end against the wall; the background moves to that end and the long back glass is clear.

Substrate

Depth at each corner, laid out as seen from above (back at the top):
Custom terrain turns the floor into a grid of points you can push down or pull up, with a smooth surface through them. It starts from the current floor.

Water

Off = a dry terrarium (reptiles, amphibians, insects); fish are hidden, not deleted.
Tint is how much of the colour shows through 30 cm (12″) of water, so a deeper tank looks more tinted. Fish stay below the surface.

Aquascape

Lighting

A visual approximation: light falls off with distance and beam angle from fixtures above the water. No real optics, shadows or ripples.
