Thanks everyone for your kind word......

I also expecting from Dutch Experts what are the area to make better Dutch Tank.

Also this tank is "DISQUALIFIED" in AGA contest this year. According to them it's not Dutch......so still I am in confusion.

Thanks again

Hello Dutch experts,

Would you mind to tell me what should be the ideal light for Dutch tank !! Currently I am using 3 x 20 watt LED tube.

Like my tank size 24"(l) X 15.5"(b) X 15"(h) inches.

 

[Edvet]

It's not the light that makes a Dutch tank. We used T8's for decades, but T5's and LED's nowadays.
It's the planting scheme that makes a Dutch tank.

 

[Abhishankar Adhikary]

Yoop......right you are...... very well said Edvet.

Thanks a lot.
