Hi all, I just got my biocube 29 all set up and running, but it is right in front of a window. This window is south of the aquarium, and gets no direct sunlight. There are also lots of trees right outside the window, but the aquarium gets a little bit of indirect sunlight every day. Will this small amount of sunlight be enough to cause algae problems in my tank? Thanks!

I have a 15 gal and a 20 gal by my window within 2 days (I get direct ssunlight) the 15 is really green gonna get black backgrounds. The 20 has no algae and both have plants... But with not much sunlight I think you'll be fine

Not anymore really more than otherwise. Kill it before it spreads, it may look pretty now but it won't when it covers your tank.
