Hello -
I was wondering if somebody with more planted tank experience than me could answer a question.
I have a planted tank with several species of plants but primarily anubias and sword plants. Some of the leaves on these anubias and sword plants are turning a mottled / marbled black. Some leaves are still primarily green but others are getting close to being all black.
I have checked some of my aquarium books but have found no information. What is causing this? Do I have a surplus or a lack of a particular nutrient (iron, phospate, etc.)? What can I do to bring my plants back to a healthy green?
