Hello,

I have 3 types of plant.. Windelov, java fern and the anubias (i cant remember) all of attached to driftwood.

Recently I notice that there are Brown spots on leaves, edges turning brown.
What is causing this? Disease (is there such a thing)? Fert problems? or algae?

Also, will fert burn out faster if I on the lights for too long? If so, I will reduce the hours of light as I read beforehand that these plants need only a little light... Thanks
 
Tank is 40 gal, lighting is 35 watts, 6500K, Fert is unknown, brand does not state the 'active ingredients'..

I tried snapping the leaves but my camera cannot capture it.. its not very obvious and to be honest my camera isnt very good also..

so wad its not due to algae? I read that it can grow on plants..

can plants have disease?
 
On the java fern, the brown spots could be where new plantlets will form. Your lighting is very low. Do you have the anubias and ferns anchored out of the substrate onto wood or decoration?
