5 Gallon Tank Question about light??

I have read and researched all I can about natural light and fish tanks. I want to know if my placement of the tank will have issues?
The tank is not directly in front of a window. There is however a large sliding glass door in the livingroom where the tank sits. The sun rays rarely come directly in through the window. This is because it is a south facing window, so only in the mornings does light come through. Even with the morning sunlight it never directly reaches the tank. It shine is and hits the wall and never reaches the tank. I added live plants and only have a small led light that came attached to the fish tank lid. I want to make sure the plants receive some light to grow, and i am not sure if the led light will provide what the plant needs. I’ve read so much about sunlight or natural light causing algae. I know temperature isn’t an issue because the sunlight never touches the tank. I have provided pictures of where the tank is in relation to the sliding door.

 

Thanks for the pictures! I don't think it will get enough light to cause a huge algae bloom. But one thing, if you have an aquarium, algae is gonna algae. Fact of life.

 

Yea I suppose algae is part of fish tank life. If it does happen to have a crazy bloom of algae I’ll be back to ask about it

I know my tanks get way more sunlight than that being near windows, and i rarely see algae. Of course, i have snails and plecos keeping on top of such things, as well.

 

Hii.

This might be irrelevant but I just wanted to comment on how neat your house looks in that picture. The colors and everything match. =)

Well thank you I appreciate your comment. It’s great to hear and comforting to know nice people still exist.

 

My tanks are way closer to the window and don’t have algae problems. It should be fine

 

I think its great, and in some ways sort of practical, a small tank that looks amazing in a huge room that looks amazing lol

 

That living room and wall is craving more and bigger tanks
