I have not had excessive algae on my glass for months...temperature has been steady at 75.
I love to have my windows open now when outside is in 70s but noticed that my glass is needing to be cleaned more often. I checked today and my tank temp has gone up to 77.

Does anyone think these are connected?

I would suspect more light from the windows hitting the tank than temperature, but I am no expert.

Very unlikely. Weather and open windows is similar in SW Florida. It's more likely other stuff like food going into the tank. But that's just my best guess.

I assume you are aware that 75 is near the low end of safe temperature for a mixed reef.
