I added a third light to my aquarium to increase the spread of the light left to right and I’m thinking the additional light is causing problems. I’ve also had a few CO2 issues that I think I’ve resolved but I am seeing discoloration in a group of plants and I’m wondering if it is going to be a micro deficiency. I did also, screw up my burraqua mixture and may have diluted it a little bit.
Am I guess correctly this may be a Fe problem?

Thats dwarf pennywort right? So its floating on the surface? Mine does this when all fertz drop off (aka not dosing enough) especially NO3. You have to remember its several inches from the new light, gets its CO2 via the air so fertz is only thing lacking.
It’s variegated and regular mixed. Dosing 30ppm NO3, 10 ppm PO4 and 35 ppm K. .45 ppm Fe as proxy BurrAqua mix. But I screwed up the mix because my ML beakers are not correct and accurate. So it’s a bit diluted.
 
When I first got my variegated pennywort, it was almost white because of how high the light was. So that might just be its' reaction to the increased light. That said, there does appear to be some interveinal chlorosis that could indicate an iron deficiency
I’m going to bump it up a little bit.
