i have 3 melon swords in my tank and i am beginning to have problems. the leaves are beginning to have brown spots, and some of the leave look like they are curling or withering up. according to a nutrient deficiency chart ive narrowed it down to potassium, and maybe calcium deficiencies? im not really that sure. i am dosing with flourish exel once a week, and flourish once a week. as soon as i saw the leaves start getting spots i dosed with a little more flourish. what can i do? how long does it take for the plants to recover after dosing with flourish? also i just noticed my anubias are getting little pin holes in the leaves. ahhh, help, whats going wrong.

swords are heavy root feeders. you probably want to pick up some Firt tabs and put one at each base of the plants
hmmm, i'll give that a try. but what about the anubias? they are starting to show similar symptoms. their leaves are starting to look a little curled as well, and i notice a few little like pin holes in them.

ok, so i went out and got the flourish tabs and put them in the tank. hopefully i will see an improvement with the swords. still at a loss with the anubias though. i have never had a problem with them before. any suggestions?
