For a fish tank for home use, the first consideration is not only the decoration, but also whether the fish can be well maintained. The size is determined by the space and placement. While considering the appropriate size, safety must also be considered. sex.
1. Is the bigger the fish tank, the better?
To a certain extent, the larger the fish tank is, of course it is better and more effective. It is conducive to the stability of water quality. If conditions permit, I suggest that a fish tank of more than 2 meters is the best. Of course, 1.5 meters is also very good. Large fish tanks can raise some large fish that like to jump, so they need to be covered to prevent fish from jumping out of the tank and suffocating. And die; if you only plan to raise some small tropical fish, and do not plan to put aquatic plants and bottom sand, a fish tank size of less than one meter is enough.
Therefore, what is the size of a home fish tank? The main deciding factor is what kind of fish to raise, followed by the placement, and finally the size.
2. How to calculate how many fish should be kept in a fish tank?
Examples:
1. The size of the fish tank: 100 cm long, 45 cm wide, and 50 cm high Centimeters (excluding the thickness of bottom sand or bottom mud)
2. The type of bottom sand laid: sand and gravel (sand, grass mud, if not, write none), the average thickness is 5 cm.
3. Whether the fish tank has a cover: No.
4. Internal temperature: 16 degrees Celsius, the temperature to be maintained is 26 degrees Celsius.
Analysis results:
Volume and weight: The water volume in your fish tank is 225L (L), and the bottom sand volume is 22.5L (L). The weight of the water body is 225Kg (kilograms), the weight of the bottom sand is about 62Kg (kilograms, the average density of sand such as volcanic rocks and rocks is used to calculate the weight), the weight of the fish tank is about 31Kg (kilograms, calculated when the expected glass thickness is 8mm), the total weight is about 318Kg (kilograms) )
Stocking density: According to the experience of raising about one centimeter of fish in one liter of water, this fish tank is suitable for raising 70-105 small fish (under 5 cm) and medium-sized fish (5-10 cm). 15-25 fish, 8-10 fish of 10-20 cm suitable for breeding. If it is a grass tank, the number can be slightly increased.
Feng shui placement of household fish tanks
1. The fish tank should not be too large
A fish tank that is too big will store too much water, and too much water will lead to lack of embankments. Risk of flooding. From the perspective of Feng Shui, water is important, but too much or too deep is not appropriate. The fish tank is too high if it is higher than the eye position of an adult when standing up. Therefore, the fish tank in the living room should not be too large or too high, especially for the area. Small living rooms are even more unsuitable. It is best not to place a fish tank that is too large in a small house, so when we choose a fish tank, we should decide according to the area of ????the home.
2. Fish tanks should not be placed in auspicious places
No house can be perfect, and there will always be some external evil spirits. Using a fish tank to resolve external evil spirits is one of the clever ways. In Feng Shui, there is a saying of "driving water into the zero hall". The so-called "zero hall" refers to the position of bad luck. It means that bringing water into the direction of bad luck can turn misfortune into good fortune and turn bad luck into good luck. Therefore, the fish tank should be placed in the unlucky side rather than the auspicious side.
The good and bad directions we talk about are inferred based on the direction of the house. Houses facing east to west and houses facing west have different directions of good and bad luck. Specifically, for houses facing east, south, north and southeast, the fish tank should not be placed in the four auspicious directions of east, southeast, north and south in the living room.
For houses located in the southwest, northwest, northeast and west, the fish tank should not be placed in the four auspicious directions of the living room: west, southwest, northwest and northeast. On the contrary, placing the fish tank in an evil place can have the effect of dispelling evil spirits, and can also increase aura, making the home more vibrant.
3. The fish tank should not conflict with the stove
The fish tank contains a lot of water, and the kitchen stove belongs to fire. As we all know, water and fire are incompatible, because "water" and "fire" conflict, so the living room If your fish tank forms a straight line with the kitchen stove, it will cause the conflict between water and fire. If you want to use the fish tank to change the feng shui magnetic field, you have to pay attention to these taboos. If the fish tank is opposite to the stove, it will be harmful to the health of your family. The reason is that water and fire are in conflict with each other, and water can overcome fire. The stove that belongs to fire will suffer, and the family members who rely on this stove to cook will also suffer. Therefore, when understanding fish tank Feng Shui, we need to pay attention to the fact that the fish tank should be placed to avoid being in a straight line with the altar.
4. Do not place the fish tank behind the sofa
From the perspective of fish tank Feng Shui, it is not allowed to place the fish tank behind the sofa. The back of the sofa should be against a solid wall. If it is filled with water, It is not appropriate to be a backer, because water is impermanent, and it is difficult to find stability if you rely on it as a backer. Such a placement will neither improve your fortune nor may affect your financial and career fortune. Therefore, placing the fish tank behind the sofa and the whole family sitting there every day will make it unreliable and affect the stability of your home. And if the fish tank is placed next to the sofa, it will not affect the feng shui of the house. This placement method is also common to us.
5. Do not place the fish tank under the financial position
As the saying goes, "wealth belongs to the financial position", so the gods of wealth such as Fortune, Luxu, and Shou should be placed under the prosperous wealth position. position, this is the icing on the cake. It would be a big mistake to place the God of Wealth on a fish tank. Although we often say that water can generate wealth, because the fish tank should be placed in the bad side of the house, this can suppress the evil spirits. However, if the God of Wealth is placed near the fish tank, this will contradict the principle of "wealth returns to the position of wealth", and will put the God of Wealth under control. If the God of Wealth is placed above the fish tank, it will violate the Feng Shui taboo of "the god of wealth enters the water", and there will be a risk of losing money.
6. The number of fish should be consistent with the five elements of the householder
Not only are there taboos on the placement and selection of fish tanks, but there are also taboos on the number of fish. How many fish are suitable for Feng Shui should mainly be determined according to the five elements of the householder's horoscope. Therefore, when we are raising fish, it is best to understand what our five elements belong to and what we lack. "Luo Shu" says: "The first part of the sky is water, and the earth is 60% of it; the second part of the earth is the fire, and the sky is 70% of it; the third part of the sky is the wood, and the earth is 80% of it; the fourth part of the earth is the metal, and the sky is 90% of it; the fifth part of the sky is the earth. "Ten percent of the land." Based on the above inference, as long as you find out the five elements of the horoscope of the head of the household, you can find out how many fish should be matched. For example, if the head of the household's five elements belongs to "water", he should raise one light-colored fish and six dark-colored fish, and so on for the rest. Accessory fish such as "scavengers" can be ignored.
