Hi,

Had the tank going now for nearly a month and recently noticed the following with the Hygrophila. As you can see from the picture, new leaves appear transparent and some of the older leaves seem crinkled in appearance.

Also our Staurengen Repens is losing it lower leaves, again these seem semi transparent.

Are both these issue a sign of Iron deficiency?

Any help much appreciated as want to try and save these plants before it's too late.

When I looked at the plants my first reaction was Zinc deficiency. Now I've looked it to your dosing Zinc is quite low in comparison to Manganese.

You could try adding some zinc sulphate. It's already on the rotala website. I would try adding it to match Mn levels to start off with.
