I copied my old marin aquarium from my Jaguar backup firewire drive and the same thing happened. (I did backup of the entire HD onto firewire drive before I clean-installed Panther.)
What I did was deleting the file, downloading a fresh copy from the Marin Aquarium website and installing it and typing in my rigistration code. Everything looks fine now.
I'm not sure if it's the version of it or something else.

My version has a big white stripe, a thick one too, that goes from top to bottom about two inches wide.
I've tried reinstalling it and nothing works. It's the latest version too.

I had the same problem with the white patch replacing the bubbles. I contacted the vendor and they advised me to do a complete uninstall then full reinstall. Do a search on Serene and Marine, and delete all these files belonging to the app (don't forget the library folders, both System and User).
After the reinstall, it worked fine.

This should solve your problems. It did for me.

One interesing thing I noticed on my machine was that the bubbles appeared correctly in the 'Application' mode they offer. I normally use Backlight, though.
I have to say that my iBook 800 has a hard time driving a second display with an animated desktop, but since it wasn't an advertised feature, who am I to complain?
[edit follows]
I replaced only the saver bundle, and the problem seems to have been resolved. I don't use the application; I prefer backlight.
