I've had good luck with an indoor reef aquarium near a large Southwest facing glass door. The tank gets about 4 hours of natural sunlight a day that compliments its usual dose of relatively intense artificial light.

I live in Northern Idaho and so temperatures are not much of an issue in Winter, being that the tank is indoors and in summer the room is kept at 68 degrees. The tank maintains a 75 degree temp all year around.

The inverts really react positively to the intense natural light. I keep nutrient levels low and so algae is not a problem.
