Today it occurred to me - what if it was possible to have a planted tank in my conservatory. It has never occurred to me before because I have it deeply engrained that too much sun on tanks = bad.
Not looking to do it, just curious.
Does anyone run a planted tank successfully with loads of direct sunlight? Does anyone have any theories on what could be achievable beyond green soup? Could the right plants, ferts and enough co2 beat the algae? It's possible in nature, how do we do it in a tank?
My conservatory roof is supposedly made from UV blocking glass. Do we think this would have any effect? Some of my houseplants seem unaffected by this glass, some are definitely affected. Could an aquarium be made from specialist glass to mitigate too much sunlight?
Thought it could be an interesting discussion.
