Default brown spots

looks like low light brown algae, otherwise, it could be plain normal algae
in a non co2 tank...

you say 65w, but not what size tank... I assume a 29/30ish and under those
conditions, I'd say it's probably in need of Co2 easily... 2 days after I
disconnected my CO2 from my 29 with 65w PCF, I had brush algae... yippee....
now that tank is infested with it, and it doesn't react to lights being off,
so it's a manual tear down to rid it...

om...
Can anyone take a look at these pics of some of my leaves. I am not
sure what these brown spots are and seem to get all different
solutions from postings of similar nature. Check out these pics at:

I would really appreciate any feed back. I am currently working on a
CO2 injection, but have not had luck with the yeast packets sold to me
with the kit (I think the yeast is dead). So for all intents and
purposes I have no CO2 injection yet. I have some pale leaves too...
from what I understand that is an iron deficiency?? correct?? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

tank specs: 6700K 65 watt flourescent
light which should be more than efficient so I think light isn't a
problem. I also have a UGF with a powerhead, temp is steadily 78
degrees F, power filter with bio wheel. pH is a high at 7.6, 0
ppm of nitrite, 0 ppm of ammonia, and the general hardness is 10 dGH.
This tank has been established for about 6 months now, everything in
it however was moved from a tank that was running for about 3 years.
