Your easy fix for this would be to go to the hardware store and get a peice of 3/4 " plywood cut for the same footprint of your tank and place that on the window sill under the tank. This would ensure that the glass isn't too stressed and the load gets spread properly

the real trouble with being in a window sill is that you may encounter a huge algae problem very quickly if this tank gets a lot of sunlight

Yah I thought about that too. Just wanted to see if I can get away with it or not.
Thank you

my window tanks grow a lot of hair algae... a lot. Looks pretty in with elodea, especially when it bubbles, but not everybodies thing.
