Likely a nutrient deficiency if you're only dosing ferropol weekly (daily would be better) but I'd also say they look to be black on the way to "clear" which would mean a lack of CO2

IMO
 
Options -

Dose liquid Carbon / Inject CO2 Gas / Reduce lighting / Improve flow (if you already inject or dose liquid)
 
I would suggest you do ALOT of research into CO2 before diving in as CO2 can cause more problems than solve if its not done right.
However if done correctly you can get astonishing results.
 
i look into it but only want CO2 if i really need it.
 
Its annoying my plants are getting mark leafs and then getting holes in them it could not be due not enough lighting could it ?

Too much light.
