Reef in Heavily sunlit room

[Kronk]

Hey all, I bought a house and want to upgrade my reef and put it in the south facing livingroom. It has a 12 foot window so there is a lot of light. The light wont be directly on the tank and there is central air so heat isnt a big concern. I did some researching and have heard algae problems due to sunlight is a myth, anyone have any experience with this ?

Thanks,
Ken
