This blissful piece can also turn into a potential disaster at times by being shattered. In order to avoid such mishaps one has to be careful about the minute details on how to maintain a Feng Shui aquarium. It is advisable that one should follow Feng Shui tips to maintain an aquarium and have a serene décor. Aquariums are considered as auspicious objects which create harmonious wealth attracting factors.There are 5 main elements for a Feng Shui aquarium;

−
Five important Feng Shui elements for an aquarium:
 
−
The water element inside the aquarium
 
−
The wood element among the plants inside the aquarium
 
−
The metal element of the aquarium structure
 
−
The earth element among the rocks and gravel at the bottom of the aquarium
 
−
The fire element of the colours of a fish and the lighting inside the aquarium.
 
−

 
−
Directions to place a Feng Shui aquarium: The perfect place to install your aquarium is the Southeast, North or the east direction. Each of these directions has positive qualities affecting the wealth, career, health and family.
 
−

 
−
Don’ts for a Feng Shui aquarium: Never place your aquarium in the bedroom or in the kitchen as this can cause various problems and create unnecessary Feng Shui energy in these areas. Also these rooms are not an apt place to place your aquariums in as they can cause excess sleep and excess eating habits by producing too much “Chi” (Chinese term for energy).
 
−

 
−
Keep the tank clean: To create the positive flow of a Feng Shui aquarium, you need to keep the tank clean and cultivate healthy fish. If the tank is not cleaned regularly it produces negative Chi and cause the death of the fishes. You can further decorate your tank by adding ornamental water plants which are artificial as the fish tend to eat them.
 
−

 
−
Number of fishes: Your aquarium can contain nine fishes as the number nine is considered as the most powerful and auspicious number of Feng Shui. The ideal fishes can be eight goldfish and one black fish as the number eight represents prosperity and the one black fish is believed to absorb all the negative energy.
 
−

 
−
Arowana wealth fish: The most popular and effective Feng Shui wealth fish is the Arowana or the Dragon fish. There are four types of Arowanas which are considered to be the most auspicious for bringing good luck, warding off evil and a successful business. There are special Arowana tanks available which should be selected according to your fish’s needs. Rectangular shaped tanks are apt for these fishes. Based on the shape and size of the fish it has to be kept in the appropriate tank and set an appropriate temperature.
 
−

 
−
Size of the tank: It is advisable that you buy a larger tank as a large tank can bring in a lot of money and a smaller one tends to bring a very little fortune. Also make sure that the aquarium is maintained aptly with proper oxygenation system to keep the fish healthy.
 
−

 
−
Decoration: To make it beautiful, you can add pebbles, plants and embellishments as it is believed that doing so would get beautiful wealth in home and other places. You can also attach an appealing or a beautiful image behind the aquarium.
 
−

 
−
According to the Feng Shui principles, you can add a dragon inside your aquarium. This in turn will bring a successful wealth and energy flow.
 
−

 
−
One of the important factors of this principle is that the aquarium has to be placed in a perfect place after consulting a vastu specialist. If the fishes die regularly, you should immediately change the position.
 
−

 
−
How to organize the fish aquarium according to Vastu:
 
−

 
−
To imply this idea, you can either prefer a pond, fish bowl or an aquarium in the desired place.
 
−
Cultivation of live ornamental fishes is advised. Mostly the dragon fish and the gold fish.
 
−
The number of fishes in an aquarium should be 9 in which, 8 can be either dragon fish or gold fish and one has to be a black fish.
 
−
The tank or the bowl should be cleaned regularly. Necessary requisites like filters, aeration and water circulation are required in order to maintain the tank.
 
−

 
−

 
−
Water is one of the elements few homes have. Sure, most homes a bathroom and kitchen with faucets, showers, toilets and baths are common. But that’s draining water.
 
−

 
−
The Chinese word for goldfish is "chin-yu", which translates to "gold abundance." In feng shui, goldfish attract wealth in abundance.
 
−

 
−
What’s uncommon to find is generating water – that is, the water that’s found in ponds, streams, fountains, swimming pools and aquariums.
 
−
And while building and maintaining a swimming pool, pond or fountain can be time consuming and expensive, having an aquarium doesn’t have to be. Better still is the fact that in feng shui an aquarium is one of the best activators for wealth there is!
 
−

 
−
Following these recommendations will help you to place your aquarium correctly and see the flow of wealth into your life greatly improve.
 
−

 
−
Create a beautiful bubbling aquarium. Purchase an aquarium that is the correct size for your home or office. Too small will bring little money, too big is overwhelming. Make sure the aquarium is suitable for keeping fish alive and has a good oxygenation system that bubbles and activates the water – and keeps the fish healthy, too.
 
−
Add beautiful plants, stones and embellishments. Creating a beautiful aquarium brings beautiful wealth energy to your home and office, so be sure to enhance the aquarium with plants and pretty stones. Another great idea? Put a beautiful image behind the aquarium that can be seen through the glass.
 
−
Enhance wealth with a water dragon. Dragons love to be around water and adding a dragon to your aquarium will bring wonderful growth and wealth energy to your aquarium. Just make sure that the dragon is made specifically for aquariums and won’t harm your fish.
 
−
Select beautiful fish. Whether you choose fresh water or salt water fish, is up to you. Just make sure that they are suited to one another. Select the prettiest and healthiest fish that you can find. Even colorful guppies can be good feng shui.
 
−
Keep auspicious fish numbers. If you want a traditional feng shui aquarium, stock it with eight gold fish and one black gold fish, for nine total fish. The eight gold or red and one black fish gives precious yang energy go the aquarium and the black fish is a touch of yin. The number is also a number of prosperity. Try to stock your aquarium with numbers in multiples of 9, making sure they can live together in your aquarium.
 
−
Maintain your aquarium. An aquarium that is dirty or that is not regularly maintained will bring ill health and financial difficulties to your home or office. Always make sure you have a topnotch filtration system to keep the water clear. Make sure it is bright, clean and clear at all times to activate good, clean, and vibrant financial energy.
 
−
Place your aquarium correctly. Water is best when placed near the front of the house, especially when it’s close to the front door. Seeing water at the front door is a wonderful wealth activator. Other good locations include the north sector of career and generating wealth, southeast sector of accumulated wealth, and east sector of health and family growth. You can also place the aquarium wherever the 7 star flies to counter its ill effects. In 2012, the 7 star flies to the northwest and in 2013 it will be at home in the west.
 
−
Where not to place your aquarium. As important as it is to place your aquarium in the right place, it’s equally important you don’t put it in the wrong place. The wrong places include the kitchen, the bedroom, or a bathroom. Adding water to these locations brings financial and health hardships. It’s also not a good idea to place an aquarium in the south corner of your living room or home as this can hinder your success.
 
−

 
−

 
−
Some feng shui consultants always tell people to place fish tank besides the door, which is wrong. In order to reach the accuracy to boost the money luck, the placement of the fish tank needs the actual measurement and calculation;
 
−

 
−
First the highest point of the fish tank can’t be over the height of a standing adult’s heart position. Because the heart belongs to fire element, the water element would destroy the fire element and cause heart disease. In the same time, the lowest water level of the fish tank can’t be lower than a standing adult’s knees. Because the knee belongs to earth element, the earth element would destroy water element and cause the knees problems.
