Ok so does anyone see this being that big of a problem? Placing a tank this close to a large window. I live in nyc so we don't get brutal cold winters ( have the heat on always) and the summer the house stays very cool 70° always inside. So I'm not worried about the temp swings. We keep the curtains drawn all day like you see them , never open them up. But plenty of sunlight fills the room as the white drapes are sheer. Is this just a crazy algae bloom waiting to happen or can something be done to prevent it ? Or maybe it won't be to big of a problem ? The picture of the computer desk is where the tank will be 75 g , 48 in long. And the othe pic shows how close the large windows is. Ty

Is this window south facing? (Getting direct sunlight exposure during winter)

If so, this could become an issue… otherwise, I don’t see the “light spill” of indirect sunlight through the curtains causing substantial issues!
This window is facing south east toward the Atlantic ocean
