    Re: Aquarium near windows

    with double paned windows, blinds/curtains and an aquarium background i don't think heat transfer will be an issue.

      Re: Aquarium near windows

      I have noticed about a 1-3 degree difference in higher temperature in tanks I have by the window compared to my other tanks in the same room and with same lighting.

        I have noticed that my tanks near windows actually do a little bit better.  THey seem to like the slight temp change as well as the natural day/night.  Just my experience ;-)

          Best planted tanks i've ever had were right in the windows.
          one facing the East and one facing the West. If you have a good amount
          of plants there should not be any issues other than keeping fish/shrimp that require
          lower temps than most.
