Possible nutrients deficiency?

[Scaperinc]

Hi All ,

Is this nutrients deficiency on Anubias nana mini coin?

60L superfish , pressurised co2 heavily planted.

I am dosing CSMB 20g mixed in 500ml of deionized water 2ml x3/4 times a week.

Also dose KH2PO4 20g mixed in 500ml of deionized water 2ml x3 times a week.

Do weekly 50% wc tap water cut 50/50 with RO water , tap water has 20ppm+ nitrates so I think my tank gets about 10ppm weekly

Looks like possible magnesium deficiency to me.

What @hypnogogia says. <"Interveinal chlorosis"> in older leaves is likely to be <"magnesium (Mg) deficiency">. Have a look at <"MG/FE deficiency in S. Repens and Rotala Indica">.

I'll add in @sidscapes to find out whether things improved in his thread.

If it is heavily planted I would add Nitrate!

I do every other week via TNC complete

I have Epsom salts I'll start adding few pinches a week or making a solution is better?

Might be an idea to explain exactly what nutrients you add per week/fortnight.

Personally I suspect potassium overload/imbalance 😀

Csmb definitely 3 per week x 2ml , but when I do TNC I skip the csmb that day and its random once every 2-3 weeks.

On alternate days in the week I dose the P&k again 2ml.

I think pump is 2ml each pump lol need to double check😁

Tank looks healthy enough to me. I'd probably just add in ½ a teaspoon of epsom salts with the next water change and see if that helps the Anubias.

You can do either. I usually dry dose <"Help! plant deficiency or toxicity ? ( new pics)">

It does.

see if that helps the Anubias.

If it is magnesium (Mg) deficiency you should get a rapid re-greening of the chlorotic leaves.

Ok thanks mate.
