Fishes are not born for indoor temperature and light controlled room. They do not come from such conditions, we make them adopt to such conditions. In normal and natural conditions, fishes live in water where the sun hits it for about 10-12 hours with various kinds of temperature. So you have actually created a natural athosphere for your fish, but algae could always remain a problem as you pointed out.

Saying the above, it is still unknown, wherever you stay, what kind of solar heat hits the aquarium. If you are in the middle east, it would be awfully strong and can hurt your fishes, while if you are in europe or asia, it should be ok during most part of the year. Sunlight will also help you to grow better and brighter plants in your tank, and create a natural atmosphere.

When you get old like me you learn to love anything that makes pwc's easier. Taking care of a 14g and 10g is easy; doing a change on a 29g, 30g and two 55g tanks with a Python is a necessity for me. There have been times that trying to pick up even a gallon of water was pure torture (I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis early last year; there were times that I could not use my hands). Say another question? how do you use the python? I mean don't you just replace the tank water with straight up tap and THEN add dechlor to the tank? how do the fish take it? or do you move the fish out when you do that water change... in that case how do the inhabitants of the tank take the temporary chlorine? like plants/inverts...
