The “Rule of Thirds” is a visual arts composition technique. The idea is to avoid making the focus of the aquarium the center of the aquarium. When the focus is the center the eyes tend to not view the entire aquarium. By making the emphasis points of your aquarium away from the center, the viewer will notice the entire aquarium.

The “thirds” refers to sectioning the visual display—the aquarium in this case—into thirds. Placing key corals, decoration and plants in these intersections will make your aquarium more pleasing to the eye. Some take this very literally and apply masking tape to the front glass in the pattern of a Tic Tac Toe board. The intersections of the tape lines provide points where you will want to place key decorations.

#1 best aquascape advice ever. Rule of thirds. Apply it to the front, all sides, and from the top down.

Leaves a tank looking natural, gives texture and depth to your work.
