Aquarium Advice Regular
With a properly set up tank (proper heater, etc), how sensitive will it be to location as far as temperature and/or ambient sunlight?
I'm new to this and starting from scratch. Fish will be beginner fish, Red Minor Tetras and Black Skirt Tetras have been recommended, but I'm far from choosing at the moment. I'm not sure what size the tank will be (will be looking for advice there, too), but want to get it big enough so that it's easier to maintain a relatively stable environment (however big that is). The larger it gets, though, the fewer options I have for placement. Some of the areas I have as choices get afternoon sun, which can significantly change the temperature in the room. Sometimes I can see swings of 15°-20° from morning to afternoon. Is this going to be a problem?
Thanks,
Mike
