Should i keep my blinds open next to my reef aquarium?
Grant asked:
I have a powercompact thats 130 watts on it. Can i leave the blinds open on the window thats right next to the tank? Will it help the corals or just grow more algae? Do you think it will affect the temp a lot? Part of the reason is where i live if you don’t keep the blinds open condensation builds up and the water rots the wood around it) it’s a 20 gallon if that makes a difference. thanks!

Well the sun is a powerful light.
For me, leaving my tank in the sun would overheat the tank and boil my livestock to death.

Also is can promote an unhealthy level of algae growth.
