myfs_139496 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi Mr CecilI have read through your forum and I found answers pertaining to a placement of fish tank.In my thought, thosefish tank feature in this forum mainlycontains a lot of water, little light and fish.I wonder whether the theory of fengshui for aquarium placement is valid when the aquarium is a planted aquarium. A typical exampleas shown here: http://www.aac.acuavida.com/gallery/AAC_2009/mini_acuarios/William+Ng/135c.jpg.htmlThe reasons are as follows: -1) In planted aquarium, soil [Earth element?] comprises up to 20% of the total volume2) Water[Water element?] takes upapprox 60-70% of the tank volume3) Driftwood [Wood element?] are placed in the aquarium4) Strong lighting [Fire element?] are used for photosynthesis5) Lastly, it has lots of plantsI wonder whether this kind of setup is consider as balance element? or still typically a water element?

A water feature that contains all five elements is suppose to create a balance of the five elements in a specific sector. But both in theory and at the same time the optimium consideration for a water feature.2. However, in the past, a water feature is often used:-2.1. A water feature with specific number of fishes especially "GOLD" fish : 7 gold-fish and 1 black gold fish is used to disarm bad qi areas that has either #5 or if there is a lamp post facing a window of a home and this is or was used to that effect.2.2. For wealth: Nowadays, today, especially if the sector is SW (under the current 2004 upto 2023) a water position at SW is suppose to help tap the "indirect-water wealth" location. And more often, it can also be e.g. a 2ft by 2ft or 3or 4 ft vessel with just a water pump to act as a water position. 2.3. A swimming pool:Literally, a swimming pool or most swimming pool does not have all five elements in it. For example, how do you add earth in a swimming pool i.e. mud or sand in a pool? etc..3. In many cases, a water position (as mentioned under Para 2.2.) is good enough for a "wealth" location. While certain elements may be needed for an unbalanced sector e.g. Para 2.1.4. The sample you had shown is perfectly good choice especially for generally the SW sector or it fits the requirements for the sector even if you throw mud or sand or plants in a water feature. It is still a large water feature by any standards.... here, it is the majority = water position that counts. Not how many leaves there are needed or not need in this water position.
