Indirect sunlight

[Tomlagoon]

Any suggestions lighting this 75g that gets a lot of Indirect sunlight? Running a Fluval Sea Marine over 2 Duncan heads doing well.

Indirect meaning it's a well-lit, bright room? I don't think that should be an issue. If there's a time of day where actual rays of light are shining into the tank, you may need to invest in some curtains.

Bright in June - not December. No direct rays , I like the Maxpect razor 200w R5 . All the corals are under it at LFS here. BRS has a video on it showing all the best settings for it.

I get very early direct morning rays on my tank in the summer months. About an hour or two. It didn’t cause me any problems at all.

I get very early direct morning rays this time of year, and I haven't had any issues either.
I did just add some newer pieces, plate, hammer & lepto, into this area that gets the direct rays, so I'll have to keep an eye on them.

I had to tint a set of sliding doors close to our tank. Helped a lot

My 6ft 180g sits in my Morningroom and gets lots of ambient light. Never seen any issue effecting the health of the tank

I've had good luck with some of the various window films, particularly the UV blocking styles. We use them in rooms that either get too hot, or have things we want to protect from direct sunlight. The films also great at reducing room temp during the summer.

Long Island ambient light is not strong enough to be of any consideration to your tank. I spent the first 40 years of my aquarium career living in Hauppauge, Lake Grove and Ronkonkoma. Still miss my midnight stops at Little Vinnys lol....
