Will my tank be okay here

[sammJack]

II can put a end cheek onto R/H side of the tank. I am concerned of algae growth on the side of the tank

I would be worried someone sitting at the table would back into it and break the glass.

That’s the least of my worries surprisingly glass is hard to break as tanks are either laminated glass or tempered.

I wouldn't be worried about breaking the glass particularly, but I would be worried about it being a hassle to move the chairs out/access the chairs, or making the tank wobble (especially if done repeatedly - may weaken the tank and/or stand), or wobbling it enough to slosh water and/or scare fish.

If you aren't worried about the glass then yes, it should be fine.

cover the right side of the tank and with a backing you should be fine
too much grey in that room! lol

As always with this website any feedback is appreciated but that’s not my question although the picture may seem it looks crampt they’re is adiquate space for the chairs and tank and the chairs are fabric btw. Will sun light be effecting my tank with algae growth I don’t get massive sun light to my garden but does algae really grow a huge amount due to a little sun light. I’m in the UK so we done have huge sunny spellls

I agree 100%. It's going to be a high-traffic and high-chaos area with zero wiggle room between watching a nice tank and watching a disaster.

I won’t comment about space as that’s not the question, you should be fine with algae growth especially if you use live plants I had my 330gal with a window as the background and never had issues with algae.

Algae growth needs more than sunlight, its usually brought on by an imbalance in parameters like too much nitrate that plus the sun might cause a bloom but light only not usually. If its a new tank your setting up you could get it regardless as its usually part of the process till everything levels out and finds its place.
