my buce is yellowing. Is this lack of iron ? Also my Anubias nana is melting on the tips and has some holes. I use Ada lean dosing. Currently dosing about 20% more than the standard ADA daily dose.
Thanks Konsa, I've bought some Epsom salts and starting dosing. I'll update with results.Hi
The ADA range as lean as it is contains Iron and plants need it in small ammount.
In your pics U can clearly see the veins of the plants and even the old leaves seem yellow ish so I will go with Magnesium as not sure if that is in ADA ferts.Iron deficiencies will show only on new growth as is not mobile.
Get some epsom salt from any shop and add some that.U should get pretty fast greening of the plants as is mobile element.Lack of Mg can prevent the plant of absorbing Iron too if I am not mistaken.

I'd be interested in this as well, looking at:Thanks Konsa, I've bought some Epsom salts and starting dosing. I'll update with results.
@Shinobi do you know how hard your water supply is?( mine is even below recommended dosage and only using mineral and K) I'm pretty confident that these ferts is not the sole issue of you problem
Hi all, @Shinobi do you know how hard your water supply is?

It might take a while for the plants to perk up. It would only be new leaves that weren't deficient, the plant can't move iron (Fe) to the older leaves.All signs point to iron deficiency but I’m already adding 2x standard dose. Now at 3x so we’ll see how it goes
I didn’t know that. Well that’s a shame seeing as these plants are so slow growing.Hi all, It might take a while for the plants to perk up. It would only be new leaves that weren't deficient, the plant can't move iron (Fe) to the older leaves.
