I wrote the text from an 'interest' point of view, personally I would not keep an aquarium in a conservatory. My own view is that the aquarist needs close control of the aquarium parameters and the sunlight would cause additional electricity hungry equipment to be required - more seawater heating for the winter and cooling for the summer. There's also the consideration of too much algae..... Hello Martin.

It is a probably a bit too risky for the fish. The old, "too cold in the winter, too warm in the summer" springs to mind. (I am a builder in London and although we have installed numerous conservatories over the years, we have never installed an aquarium in one.)
