The fish tank is about 15 minutes of video, looped, on a DVD. There  
are 4 chapters, which results in a saltwater reef tank, a freshwater  
community tank, a freshwater tank with less hospitable fish (rarely  
used) and a dark blue lit tank that we almost never play. It's just a  
DVD iso in the videos folder, and appears to be actual fish tanks. I  
believe we just use the internal player to run it.
