Default Black spots on Anubias

I've recently dropped my lights to decrease the algae I was getting and the tank was algae-free for about 3 weeks. Then I seemed to start getting black spots on my Anubias leaves. Any idea why this happens? Nutrient deficiency of some sort? Any help is appreciated. Pic below:

It's GSA-green spot algae.
Try dosing a teeny bit of KH2PO4. Like a 1/16th of a teaspoon for a 100l tank.
That's a phosphorus deficiency.

Hmm... always thought they'd be green I have been experimenting lately with my dosing/lighting to see what works (read: less work) so things are a little haywire with the tank. Thanks!

It might also be a CO2 issue. I'd tweak up the CO2 first[watch the fish for two hours after doing so, just in case]

Then do the tweak for the fert.

ps, they are dark green in your photo, no?
