hey, this im seeing is defenitly not a fungus or a bacteria or anything like that, looks like the leaf is not getting enough something...looks like when the summer leaves start turning brown...somthing like that. i see some areas on some leaves in the anubias and a more spotted pattern on a wentii crypt...any suggestions? i don't dose but with iron, have two home-made yeast CO2s, and flourite substrate in my 120. thanks guys!

Good morning Damian,

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but maybe this article will help you.
There is a handy table of common symptoms due to nutrient deficiencies.
Unfortunately, I only see references to yellow or pale coloration on leaves, not white;
and apparently it makes a difference if it's new growth or old growth.

it seems it can be calcium deficiency that i have, the whiteish thing no clue though but, specially, in my anubias the newer leaves come out not quite as long and somewhat distorted...nice article, thanks
