i dont think its iron. it gets all of its ferts.
i think it resembles K deficiency but i dose it a LOT. maybe an overdose?
 
OD of ferts causes algae, not the problem you have. Do you have something pecking at it??
 
it's all in my tank setup. 2.5 wpg, diy co2 with 5 2 liter bottles, i do not do ei dosing. NO3 is high straight from my tap, P i dose to 2ppm, and i dose K every other day. i'm interested about what my K level actually is because of how much i dose. gonna get a test kit when i have some cash.
 
tap water is from a well and is between 40-80 ppm (i have trouble telling the different shades of red) and sorry i forgot to mention that i dose csm+b for trace.
