I’m not a kid, but this did appeal, and it was inexpensive at $9.99.
For what it is, it’s well made and it is bright and cheering,
and not really realistic, of course. However, the Living Aquarium
is a resting point for tired eyes to wander into after looking for too long
at the close-up computer screen.
I’ve set the aquarium up in my room’s background–ten feet in the distance behind my monitor.
I find this eases eyestrain brought on by hours at the computer.
The aquarium sort of reminds one to look at it at intervals.
Construction: Good, simple, not high tech: a crystal clear, wavy-lenticular polycarbonate
case contains a five watt circular fluorescent bulb,
revealed by removing two screws from the top.
Inside are two two rollers, the two strips of acetate film
and a dead-silent gearmotor to drive one of the roller–
the other roller being an idler.
This is all on an old principle. Given its silence and its brightness,
it’s all that could asked for.
From a distance, in a dimmed room it is particularly striking.
I find the Living Aquarium an excellent value in a novelty with a purpose,
at the price I paid for it at the local CVS pharmacy in late January 2008.
When I bought this aquarium for my mother, she had been living with Alzheimer’s for many years. When she reached the point where TV was no longer meaningful, I purchased this aquarium to give her a pleasant focal point. It ran continually for months, and while the fish no longer moved at a certain point, the light stayed on. This also gave a gentle light to her room during the night.
