    Tanks in conservatories?

    Tanks in conservatories?

    I am just thinking where in the house i can put my tank for the summer, as being a student i get 4 months off, so i will go home to cornwall and get my diving job again, but i am wondering if my tank would be okay in the conservatory if i put a couple of fans above the tank to help the cooling? I have always been told not too keep them in conservatories because they get too hot in the day and cold at night, but i think the night will be okay as my tank keeps at 26, but goes from 25.8 to 26.3 during the day. But i am a bit worried about the day heat? I was just wondering as surely the light would help my sps corals grow well, but i was also worried about the affect of the light on algae, would it increase it that much?

    All help appreciated,
    Andrew

    Boy sounds RISKY to me. I know I would not be able to leave my tank virtually unattended for 4 months. Will some do the water changes and topoff for you while you are away?
