Hello I’m looking to buy a new 180 gallon fish tank. I’m trying to figure out a location for it. Will it be okay a couple inches away of my baseboard heat and couple feet away from my window ac unit?
 
Evaluate the floor support first before considering anything else.. Joist should be going under the tank 5-6 times, not 1-2 times. I have my tank close to a window and have a heat/ac vent 4 feet above it but few feet out - If it became a problem I planned to just divert the air away. But to answer your questions I don't believe few inches from your tank would be a good idea unless you can divert the air away from the sump area, which may be difficult being that close..Hope this helps.
