What colour is your drop checker? - If you CO2 is actually fine, it could be a lack of flow.

I am not using a drop checker. I have 1bps, with a KH=2 and PH=6.5. According to the PH/KH tables, it should be enough CO2, but I agree this is not the best method to measure co2.

When you have 2 variables any error is squared and when we're talking test kits any 1 of those variables could be off....So best to get yourself a drop checker with 4dKH solution, at least then you're only dealing with the 1 variable which doesn't need to be that accurate anyway....

What changes have you made to the tank in the last month?
Also, can you provide more pictures please?

Well, I haven't made big changes on the last 2 months. I added 5 amano shrimpts to the tank who helped alot eliminating all the filamentous algae.

You can see 2 more pics. Please ignore the dirty window ;-)

Whats your opinion?

Contrary to popular belief I stll think its your L200. I also do not think its a light issue because some of the leaves that are higher up look fine.
But after taking a closer look at those pictures it does look very uniform, so it may not be an animal.... It almost looks like chlorosis. But then again in the first picture you can see similar damage to the rest of the plants (see picture) which makes me think that its still an animal that is causing it.
Sorry for my self-contradicting response. Good luck with your tank

Thanks for your opinion.

Right now, I don't know exactly what to do.
If my L200 is the responsible, this is a big problem, because I really like the fish. I can move it to a secondary tank (only 60L though), but this would be a last resort.

I already saw him a couple of times, on the echinodorus leaves, so I tend to agree he might the guilty.
I guess, he is becoming old (he should have around 18 months), he is less interested on algae and more interested rasping plants or just hanging around doing what comes to his head.
What I am doing right now, is to give him more food. I will feed him daily alternating cucumber, nutrafin tabs and algae wafers.
Maybe with his stomach full, he will leave the plants alone. But in fact, I don't have to much faith on that

Any other ideas will be very welcome.!

See, how powerful my bleheri was before
