Advice on placement of 180 gal tank

[Dr. Trocar]

Hello all,

I think I found the perfect location for a new 180 gal tank but wondering if it to close to natural light. The wall is adjacent to a window. It doesn't get direct sunlight but I'm worried about algae growth. The window is to the left in the picture.

I appreciate any advice.

You should be fine as long as the light ant shining directly on the tank.

You might consider putting a couple extra outlets in and make sure they are GFCI protected before you put the tank in. Between the lights, heaters and other equipment you will wish you had more.

Thank you. I thought it would be okay but wanted to check. Appreciate the comment.

I was planning on checking the electrical and running a water line for topping off. On the opposite side of the wall is a bathroom so easy access to water and a drain.

Do you have a reverse osmosis demonization (RODI) system for your water?

It's on my list of things to buy.
