The aquarium itself is a wonderful addition to the home interior. It helps to create coziness, as well as bring a piece of wildlife into a person’s home. Various fish, shellfish, algae. Every minute the boiling life attracts a person and makes the one who watches it relax.
Many people pay special attention to creating an interior; everything should be in its place, arranged beautifully and conveniently. But lately, many have been fascinated by the idea of Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui, an aquarium in an apartment can bring both wealth and poverty into the life of its owners, and all this will depend on the right location .
The name Feng Shui itself means “wind and water”. The aquarium consists almost entirely of water. Those. this element is capable of making significant adjustments to the life of household members. The main thing is to choose the right place for it in the house.
Activating zones using an aquarium
There is not enough space in a one-room apartment, however, it is possible to allocate a corner for an aquarium even in a small area.
So, following these rules, you can place an aquarium according to Feng Shui:
- Sharp corners of walls and various pieces of furniture should not be directed at the aquarium;
- You should avoid placing the aquarium opposite a window or door.
A lot depends on the size of the aquarium. A small one cannot in any way affect the change in the flow of energy in the apartment, while a large aquarium can influence the attraction of positive or negative energy, depending on its location.
Wherever the location for the aquarium is chosen, you need to choose stable furniture for it. After all, large aquariums weigh a lot.
When choosing a place, keep in mind that the aquarium should not be placed in the South, West, North-East, North-West, such places will affect the deterioration of the financial condition of the house.

Where is the best place to put an aquarium in an apartment?
Proper installation of an aquarium in an apartment is the first step in starting an aquarium.
This is relevant for large aquariums, since they are difficult to move if it turns out that you placed the aquarium in the wrong place in the apartment.
When choosing a location for an aquarium, assume that the location of the aquarium will be permanent.
You have the exciting task of finding a compromise between installing an aquarium and your understanding of the layout of the interior of the apartment.
Don't place the aquarium near a window
An aquarium installed near a window is exposed to direct sunlight.
This leads to the rapid appearance of green algae and the growth of algae on the glass of the aquarium, which deteriorates the appearance of the aquarium.
Direct sunlight heats the water in the aquarium, which cools quickly after the sun moves away.
Such temperature fluctuations have a negative effect on aquarium fish.
During the summer, direct sunlight can heat an aquarium to temperatures above 34 degrees Celsius, which is lethal to most aquarium fish.
For the same reason, the aquarium is not installed under an air conditioner or next to a heater.
Fish need stable water temperatures.
Do not place the aquarium next to the door, in a noisy place or in a walk-through area
The fish are frightened by sharp slams of the door.
For humans this is not a loud sound, but for fish it is a deafening roar due to the acoustics of the water.
I have seen how fish, frightened by a sharp sound, began to rush around the aquarium, crashing into stones, snags and decorations.
A slamming door keeps aquarium fish under constant stress, which will affect the fish's lifespan and ability to reproduce.
Constant movement past the aquarium frightens aquarium fish as well as loud sounds from a TV or stereo system.
Aquarium size and number of fish
The shape of the aquarium can be either round or rectangular. The size depends on your financial situation; choose one on which you can spend your money painlessly. Remember, large aquariums cost a lot. In addition, they require the use of additional equipment, which is also quite expensive.
And the size of the aquarium depends on the number of fish that will live there and their size. All this needs to be calculated in advance.
According to the laws of Feng Shui, an odd number of fish should live in an aquarium . If it is small in size, then you can stop at three. If finances allow you to purchase a large aquarium, then you can have 8 goldfish and 1 black. It is believed that the color gold will attract wealth and financial well-being, but black is responsible for good luck.
In principle, Feng Shui experts say that you can have different types of fish. This does not affect energy in any way. The most important thing is that they are cheerful, healthy and active. Only then will they be able to fill the space of the house with positive energy and direct its flows in the right direction.
You cannot have an odd number of fish according to Feng Shui.
How to strengthen the energy of Water in the house
The water element is responsible for the material well-being and well-being of the family. Therefore, it is so important to enhance it with the correct organization of space and decorations.
The recommendations are as follows:
- decorate the wealth zone in the apartment in shades of blue. It should be bright and as spacious as possible;
- keep the window glass clean, and also do not clutter the window and door openings: you do not need to put anything on the windowsill, for example;
- decorate the wealth sector with objects symbolizing water: decorative fountains, paintings with seascapes, etc.;
- place fresh flowers there to enhance the flow of positive energy around the apartment;
- place 2-3 Feng Shui money talismans in the prosperity zone: it could be a golden bowl, a ship, a toad with a coin in its teeth, or Chinese coins tied with a red thread;
- don’t overdo it - there shouldn’t be too many oriental symbols in the house;
- make sure that the interior design does not contain a contrast between two opposing elements: fire and water;
- You can’t have red and blue objects standing next to each other;
- “water” talismans should be kept away from the “wooden” elements. But they combine perfectly with the energy of Metal and Soil
To summarize: from the point of view of Feng Shui, an aquarium is not only an aesthetic decoration of the interior, but also a powerful tool for increasing the flow of monetary energy. This is a very “living” talisman. But you need to carefully care for it; if you are not ready to do this, it is better to purchase decorative fountains.
Other places to install an aquarium
It is also not recommended to place an aquarium in the kitchen. This is especially true for pregnant girls; it is believed that this can even harm the baby and hinder its proper development.
But the hallway is the most ideal place to place an aquarium. The only point you need to remember is not to place aquatic inhabitants in front of the front door, but otherwise you can realize any fantasies.
An aquarium in the living room would also be a good location. This room is best suited for installing an aquarium. Firstly, it is the largest and, therefore, illuminated. Secondly, it will perfectly complement the interior of the room.
Consider the existing interior style and the availability of furniture. The aquarium should not be too large and bulky in relation to other items.
The living room is an ideal place to install an aquarium according to Feng Shui.
Where should the aquarium be located in the apartment?
Do not place the aquarium on the floor. It should be on a nightstand or small chest of drawers.
The installation surface of the aquarium must support the weight of the aquarium with a margin. Also, the installation surface must be flat.
For example.
The weight of a 100-liter aquarium, including water, soil, plants and decorations, is 110-130 kg.
An uneven surface under the aquarium can break the glass. Use leveling pads when installing on uneven surfaces.
The aquarium should be level in the directions front - back and left - right.
A slight distortion will cause the aquarium water to press its entire mass in one direction, which will lead to squeezing out the glass of the aquarium.
Aquariums from well-known manufacturers are designed for installation with a slight distortion and are able to withstand increased pressure on one side.
Homemade aquariums or aquariums from unknown Chinese manufacturers may not have such a safety margin.
Remember.
The misalignment of the installed aquarium leads to glass squeezing out, followed by water spilling throughout the apartment.
Aquariums larger than 200-300 liters are best installed in a corner.
Such an installation location creates less pressure on the ceiling of the apartment than installation in the center of the room.
This point is very important for defective or wooden interfloor floors.
Place the aquarium near an outlet
Having an electrical outlet near the aquarium makes it easier to connect aquarium equipment: lighting, heater and compressor.
Sockets should not be located below the level of the aquarium to avoid short circuits when water enters.
In the event of a leak or spill of water from the aquarium, you risk getting burned electrical wiring in the apartment as a bonus to the installation.
For comparison.
A 200-liter aquarium is half a standard bath of water.
Provide easy access to water
Aquariums require regular water changes and it is very inconvenient to walk with a bucket of water across the entire apartment to the back room.
In small apartments this problem is not so pronounced, but proximity to water makes it easier to solve many aquarium problems, from changing water to washing the aquarium filter.
Leave some free space around the aquarium
There should be enough free space around the aquarium to allow easy access to the aquarium for maintenance.
Otherwise, you will rarely maintain the aquarium due to the inconvenience of not having the necessary space.
As a result, this results in an ordinary home swamp instead of a beautiful aquarium.
It's a question of time.
