Dear Constantine,

1. Yes, from my personal experience with clients having problems with fish tank at the centre-point of the house. This has been mentioned in several of the past forum messages i.e. relating to health problems.

2. In my opinion, your family members are correct to advise you to remove the fish tank at the balcony. This is because, (if I believe) that it is kinda of tall and not `flat' e.g. pond.

3. When a fish tank is tall, it no longer `behaves' like e.g. clear space or provide clear space. Unlike a pond or a pool of water. In fact, it becomes or acts more like a mountain effect. Imagine, having a `mountain' right in-front of the balcony - where there should be clear space.

4. Such `obstacles' can lead to health problems especially for the female - in the house.

5. Furthermore, water when wrongly used... implies `difficulty' under the Book of I-Ching.

6. Fish tanks are popular especially for Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners to be used as a `CURE' to neutralise e.g. a lamp post and note: it is more of a cure than an enhancer.

7. Furthermore, water positions is bad for people who have e.g. weak fire elements (as it will further extinguish) their weak fire element.

It is equally inauspicious to have water positions for a strong water person. As it will create further imbalance to the strong water person.

8. It is my sincere advise that you immediately drain off or remove the fish tank - ASAP. It does not really matter if the fish tank is considered at the balcony or within the home, here.

9. In addition, if your house is built between 1984 to-date; check to see what room your daughter is sleeping in. In GENERAL, sectors to be cautious of is in east & south sectors - especially on the issue of health problems.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
