Default Yellow spots on Nana leaves - Iron defficiency?

Parameters:

Tank 5 gallon tank
Lighting 13W CF 6700K (6 month old bulb)
Temp ~78F
pH 6.0 (AQ test) (Lower than I thought)
KH ~17.9ppm (AQ test kit showed color change nearly immediately)
GH ~36-54ppm (AQ test - hard to tell)
NO3 ZERO (AQ test)
CO2 15ppm (as measured by LaMotte CO2 test kit)

Water changes: 20% once a week (last water change was nearly a week
ago)

Yes....that's green spot algae on the front glass.

I'll get some links up tomorrow afternoon.


Great. Post your tank parameters, if you know them. Size of tank, amount of
lighting, pH, KH, GH, temperature, nitrate reading, how often you do water
changes.

FWIW, it's probably not iron deficiency, if it's the old leaves being affected.
Have you see Chuck's page?
