Brown edges on anubius nana petite!

I set this tank up about a month or 2 ago and when I added the anubius it was perfect and green! I have been getting new growth and it’s been looking good until the last few weeks when I noticed brown on some of the edges! I have uns controsoil and recently started to dose Niloc g thrive once a week! I add about 1.5 ml for this 9 gallon fluval flex! I didn’t notice the brown edges till after I started fertilizing! Also the filter keeps pumping out the brown mulm that collects on the sand and anubius even though I clean the tank once a week and clean the filter! Does anyone have a idea as to why the brown edges of the leaves are happening cause the anubius looked great a couple weeks ago! I did have spider wood in the tank originally but had to take it out cause it was messing up my bettas fins! Thanks for any help!

I think that's a lovely looking Betta.
 
Nice Tank and Betta. Are the leaves themselves brown or is it algae covering the leaf surface?
It’s not algae I think because I tried rubbing it off with my fingers and it won’t come off! And my ottos would’ve eaten it off I think haha thanks
 
If that's bubbling/pearling on the top of the leaves, could it be diatoms? Looks like a little on the rocks, too.

Agreed, nice Betta!
Yeah it might be but can’t figure out what’s causing it because I clean the tank every 5 days or so and it still kicks out this brown stuff out of the filter. Not sure if it’s just a design flaw with the fluval flex filter or what! Even though I have filter floss in the first compartment and the sponge that came with it before the pump compartment it still has brown film in the last pump compartment! I love the tank but it’s getting pretty annoying! Especially after only a day or two after cleaning these brown specs start to collect in the sand! Would like that to stop for sure! Thanks
