There are major up and downsides to the whole naturally lit system. With it being naturally lit you will have a huge algae problems and it will be tough to control. You will also have a huge heat issue. You would be able to suppliment that with a chiller. Also when it is too cold your tank will get very cold. What would you do when it rains? snows? freezes?

If you would be able to solve all these issues i think that it would be a neat idea for a system. Let us know if you would want to do something like this as it would be an intresting tank.
