Black spots on leaves and sides. Is it iron deficiency? Thanks.'
fort384 said:I don't think so. Are you sure the spots are not algae?
The leaf edges dieing on the leaf on the left suggest a Potassium (K) deficiency or trace deficiency to me. Are you dosing anything yet in the tank?
Iron deficiency presents itself with yellowing leaves... not really dying or withering leaves.
fort384 said:ok. What is your nitrates testing out at?
I would start dosing the K and continue dosing flourish, excel, and Fe (go easy on the iron though, a little goes a long way).
