Looks like it might be a K deficiency but hard to tell for sure as all deficiencies usually go hand in hand. When one nutrient is deficient, it affects many other nutrients uptake values.
Raise your K dosage. 3 ppm a day or 6 ppm x3 is a minimum. 3.5 ppm x3 is very low.
Keep on front loading Mg, Ca and do not spread them over the week. You can front load your K too if you want. 20-25 ppm of K after water change would be an ideal dose.
Try raising your micros too ( not the iron ), they seem a bit out of balance. You can try Tropica Premium at 1.4 ml per 10 L, for 30L 4.2 or roughly 4 ml a day is the ideal dosage. This dosage would give you 0.1 ppm Fe. ( Use Rotala Butterfly for further info )
or
You can DIY your micros with 0.15 DTPA and
Mn - .05 ppm
B - .045 ppm
Zn - .05 ppm
Mo - .0015 ppm
Cu - .002 ppm
Ni - .0005 ppm
