Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this. However, I have a question. We are currently moving, and the only place left to place my tank will be a covered patio in the backyard. There would be some natural sunlight to hit the tank during the late afternoon hours.
I was planning on placing my tank under the patio; In regards to exposure, I was going to build a canopy, with some ventilation holes along the perimeter of the canopy. I may consider doing a reef tank, but for the time being I'm looking at going with a FOWLR setup. I did a search, and only saw one outdoor FOWLR build here (it was a 300gal) with a last posting date around 2013

I was looking at utilizing fans during the summer, with dual titanium heaters during the colder months.
Any recent information regarding outdoor tanks?
