Window proximity and algae

[DennisC]

I'm planning for a new 60P tank in the living room. There's an attractive location against a NW wall between two windows. The location is bright though some direct sun might reach the side of the tank briefly late in the late afternoon in summer months. The tank will have CO2.
Comments?

Try, but in my experience the sides receiving sunlight are the first to get algae... how much algae well that depends how much algae your tank would grow... You can alway put a cover on the sides to stop the light from coming in.
