Aquarium Based Grow Room?

These past few weeks I have found myself in the possession of both a reasonably sized aquarium and an urge to grow my own weed. I was wondering If I could use the tank as a grow room of sort? (I have no other space around the house to grow it and outdoors is not an option I'm afraid). It comes equipped with a pair of T5 Tubes for lights and I have set up a ventilation system (so no need to be concerned about that).

My only worry is the plant getting too big and outgrowing the tank itself (I wanna grow a Sativa dominate strain but if its easier Indica will do). That and me not having any previous experience growing weed. It should be noted I don't necessarily need a large yield this is more of an experiment of sort.

As stubborn as I am I'm probably going to try regardless so a few tips would be appreciated.

Aquarium Specifications:

Aquarium Model: AquaStyle 620
Dimensions: 62 x 52 x 39cm (5mm glass)
Aquarium Volume: 90L
Light Wattage: 12.8W
Power Requirements: 220 ~ 240V AC

Oh and heres a link to the manual or whatever it is: https://aquaone.com.au/manual/2015023_A1_Aquarium_AquaStyle 620-620T_02122015.pdf

Why are you wanting to use an aquarium? Curious what your motivation is.

Would probably be better off selling the aquarium and using the proceeds to get set up with something better for trying a micro grow? The light at 12.8 watts isn't going to get the plant very far past the seedling stage even if it happens to be the right spectrum and type by the way.
