Product Description
Works on ALL TVs! From the studio that created the best-selling Plasmaquarium Aquarium DVD and the Plasmavironments Fireplace DVD.... Turn ANY TV into an Exotic Coral Reef with the Plasmaquarium 2 - Ultra Coral Reef DVD! The Plasmaquarium 2 - Ultra Coral Reef DVD features hundreds of exotic fish, including dozens of species in ELEVEN different Coral Reef scenes. We sent our award winning Plasma Window cinematography crew deep off the coast of the Phillipines to one of the world's most spectactular Coral Reefs: Panglao on Bohol, amongst Asia's second largest Coral Reefs. The spectacular widescreen images were captured on a Sony 1080i professional High Definition camera mounted in a special underwater housing, thus procucing images with rich color and excellent depth of field. Relax to the serene scenes of exotic fish in their natural habitat as a gentle current moves through each Coral Reef. The Plasmaquarium 2 - Ultra Coral Reef DVD features real LIVE sealife, unlike some other Aquarium DVDs which only display fake, animated recreations. You asked for it! After producing the best selling original Plasmaquarium DVD, we received many important suggestions and requests from our customers for a sequel DVD. We've incorporated many of our customers' valued ideas into the Plasmaquarium 2 DVD. There are now more scenes on each DVD, and each DVD scene gives a wider and more panoramic perspective of the reef. Perfect for showing off those larger TVs. While the Plasmaquarium 2 DVD is mastered in widescreen format, it will work on ALL non-widescreen TVs without stretching the picture or adding ugly black bars to the tops or sides of the image. Select from a calming "Relaxation" soundtrack or a natural bubbling water soundtrack mastered in Dolby Digital surround. Once played, the DVD will loop indefinitely until the user presses stop. The Plasmaquarium 2 - Ultra Coral Reef DVD is the perfect way to turn ANY TV into a spectacular coral reef. (*Some scenes may contain brief light reflections or floating particles, which are part of all natural Coral Reefs.*) |

Nice substitute for a real fish tank by FloridaSunshine (Tampa, FL)  5 Stars
October 26, 2009
I love aquariums but am not fond of the upkeep they require. This is an acceptable substitute and makes a nice background on your tv when you are entertaining. I enjoy running it during the day and seeing it when I pass through the family room. Colors are vivid and fish are fairly active so your eye is entertained. I purchased one for an adult child who longs for a real aquarium but whose travel schedule doesn't allow for that at this time. It was a fun gift that made him smile and that he now enjoys.

July 05, 2009

great viewing in a limo by Drivenmecrazy (Buena Park, Calif) 5 Stars
June 21, 2009
I am a chauffeur that likes to stay on top of my game. Giving the extras...
clients weren't happy watching a dvd/fireplace on a hot day or watching dvd/running waterfalls after drinking too much... However... the aquarium video has all of them happy while imbibing drinks and listening to music as we cruise along!
I end up with a little extra too!

Plasmaquarium II not as great as everyone says, but close by Matthew Groves (California, USA) 3 Stars
May 01, 2009
I purchased this after all the reviews raved about how wonderful the plasmaquarium looks, with one person actually going as far as saying that someone thought it was an actual aquarium. Let me assure you, this DVD does not even come close to reaching these levels of quality. Let me explain why:
The Bad:
Video quality is DVD quality. This was a deal breaker for me and I'm sure it will be for many others. I've been looking for a high def quality aquarium for my Samsung PN63A650 (which is a top of the line plasma at the time of writing) and I am not happy at all. Everything is not as crisp as it should be for HD.
Sound quality is also just OK. I would recommend listening to the relaxing music, as the 'natural sounds' are annoying after a while.
The Good:
Everything else. The scenes are wonderful, with a large variety of fish and pleasing aquatic plant life. There are an ample amount of scenes which change just as you start getting bored with them.
So, if you are looking for an HD quality plasmaquarium, look elsewhere as you will not be satisfied. Unfortunately, most reviews of other similar products show that there really isn't one out there so it could involve some waiting. I'm still searching.
7/22/09: I am fairly satisfied with the "Marine Aquarium" blu-ray image quality, but again it doesn't quite have the same feel as plasmaquarium.

| Fireplace DVD: Real Wood Burning Fire (Anamorphic - FullScreen Edition)
Starring: fireplace
Directed By: Plasma Candy
After being disappointed with many of the Fireplace DVDs out on the market that we tested, we were inspired to create a fireplace DVD that:
1. Used a real wood burning fire (not gas).
2. Was lit properly so that the fire didn't overexpose the shot.
3. A fire that filled the entire screen of a wide screen television as well as a regularly formatted TV.
4. Had no cheesy hearths to distract from the fire's magnificence.
5. Allowed the viewer...
