Nutrient deficiency in Anubias

[|squee|]

The new leaves on my Anubias are "marbled", they are green with white streaks in them.

Using the EI,

-72W of light 10 hours daily
-CO2 injection, should be higher than 30ppm stable, unable to determine exact because of Aquasoil.
-1/4 teaspoon KNO3 thrice a week
-Pinch of KH2PO4 thrice a week
-6 drops of Dr Mallick's trace

Am I missing out on Calcium/Magnesium? My kH is 1 due to Aquasoil, and I don't add stuff like Equilibrium. Tap water kH of 2.

Thanks!

did you happened to bought a Anubias barteri nana var 'Marble'? There is one such species.

budak asked me the same question

I'm not sure. I bought it at the shop next to Nature Aquarium. At that time, the leaves were indeed marbled and I thought it was just the poor enviroment of the plant or something.

High chance of it being var marble?

what other plants you have?

Anubius is usually not the first to show signs of deficiency.

My big nana was bubbling like crazy for 2 days it even bubbled from the stalk, and then it stopped totally. The water parameters remain almost similar. Why does this happen??

I have E.Tennellus, Cyperus Helferi, various crypts, hairgrass. All of them are doing fine except for Cyperus which I read needs a long period of acclimatisation but it's showing some growth already.

Problem solved after I added seachem Equlibrium for a few weeks. Kudos to budak for the tip.
