About the app

In one line, and in a few.

Short: PixelTank Aquarium is a calm, living 3D reef tank for Mac and Apple TV.

Longer: PixelTank turns a Mac or Apple TV into a 3D saltwater aquarium. Coral sways, clownfish tuck into their anemone, tangs cruise open water, and every fish swims its own way, so the tank never plays out the same twice. Turn on Dive and the camera glides through the reef like a diver. On the Mac, click any fish to swim in close and read about its species. On Apple TV the reef fills the screen in 4K. Owners can choose how many fish swim, mix species, pick Soft, Bright or Moody lighting, add an air stone or bubble curtain, and Shuffle for a fresh tank.

  • Dive: a camera that swims the reef, and dives by itself when the controls are hidden.
  • Meet the fish: click a fish on the Mac to read about its species.
  • Made for the living room: full-screen 4K on Apple TV.
  • Pro adds six species, your own logo and a short message, and removes the PixelPop logo.

Press release

PixelPop releases PixelTank Aquarium, a living 3D reef tank for Mac and Apple TV.

November 6, 2026. PixelPop today released PixelTank Aquarium for macOS and tvOS. The app turns a Mac or Apple TV into a calm, living saltwater aquarium, with seven hand-built reef species, from clownfish to emperor angelfish, that swim, school and sprint among corals, anemones and macroalgae. A Dive mode sends the camera swimming slowly through the reef, and on Mac, clicking a fish shows what it is.

PixelTank Aquarium is free on the App Store. PixelTank Pro, a one-time $8.99 in-app purchase, adds six more species, including a seahorse, lionfish and mandarin dragonet, lets owners place their own logo or message in the tank, and removes the PixelPop logo. The app has no ads, needs no account and collects no data.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later (Apple silicon or Intel), or tvOS 18 or later (Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K).
