Well they could have the same problem, are you looking to set up a reef tank or a fish only tank? If it's a reef tank then you need to keep nutrients down as much as you can anyway and the extra light from the sun is actually beneficial. If it's a fish only tank with fancy filters and heavy bioloads then the nutrients may be higher and then algae will become a problem.
Heat would still be the biggest concern especially in a smaller tank
