Aquariums are, in essence, placing water in the house, and in a specific location. Often this is a needed remedy, and while a quiet fountain or small pool might be ideal, a fish tank is much easier to pull together. The fish are just window dressing for the water, which is what many feng-shui directed aquariums are all about.

Since water is yang and represents the Water element, it stirs things up and thus should be used as a remedy with great care. Often water placement is left to real feng-shui experts.
