Tank near windows?

[BarroomHero]

Thats what I am hoping, but I dont know how much heat/light will radiate from the windows. They are on the west side of the house so it should only get direct sun in the morning.

By the way, this was supposed to say that the tank is going on the east side of the house so it will only get direct sun in the morning. I'm tired lol.

don't forget that in addtion to causing temp fluctuations being in the direct sunlight can also cause algae issue.

The windows will be behind the tank and the back of the tank will be painted. It shouldnt get that much direct sunlight in the actual tank.
