Dear Anon,

There are two dimensions when looking at the placement of a fish tank:

1. Shapes and Forms

Often, the advise is to place it on the same wall along (but not close to) the main door. (Around the main door location)

Avoid placing it at the centrepoint of the house.

2. Flying Star Feng Shui

Under Flying Star Feng Shui, locations that has #7 and or #6 (PLUS) also that this is a water location e.g. the living room area - can be considered acceptable for a water postion.

But under Flying Star, becareful not to place a water position at locations which #3 or #4 or multiples of these bad wood element.

The rationale is that such a water position can `inflame' bad wood further and cause more problems.

3. A fountain...hmmm..

Nowadays, fountain is highly commercialised object. And at such a high mark-up.

The real rationale for a fountain (a large one) is because, of two senarios:

3.1 for a landed property, water or water fountain would mean that nothing can built up above it ... i.e. giving clear space.

3.2 a real fountain or waterfall is different from a tiny fountain:

What makes a real waterfall significant is the friction of water with air. It is said that such friction would produce a positive result or good ion charge. And these ion charge e.g. negative ions can attract bad positive ions.

3.3 Imagine a small tiny house fountain? Can it generate such an activity? Worse still, this may cause high humidity levels if the house is all closed up. If there is lots of sunligh there can also be algae growth.

3.4 For those who are living at a high floor already should be enjoying virtual water or clear space.

4. Where ever possible, a fountain should be placed outside of the house e.g. at the balcony area.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
