Let it grow a little more, you can cut it off after 3-4 new leaves comes out

Don't reduce the dosing. In high temperature metabolism of plants increases and they need more ferts and carbon for proper growth.

plz identify this deficiency /disease
, this start from one leaf and separates to other leaf which is near contact of affected one,after doing some study i found it is due to co2 deficiency, i seen it before also but it gone when i trimmed affected leaves , now it comes back and i have trimmed 4 leaves .
my fern is growing at very fast rate, anyone faced this issue?
i m running diy co2 so cant increase co2, no glut /excel ,light -28wx3 t5, tank is around 25 gallon.i m thinking of reducing light to 28wx2 to reduce co2 demand. friends whats your opinions on this issue..

for last 20 days i am running my green sump as a low tech setup no co2 and fert, reduce light to 1wpg, removed all stem plant to make this tank very low maintenance,
now weekly removing 20% of water and adding my main tank water so that sump tank's fishes and plant can adjust to main tank water ,from next week i will pass main tank water from this section
.
all plants are doing good and i think will be fine in low tech setup
current plant list
java fern
java fern trident
anubias
java moss
tenellus
Amazon sword
TRIPARTITA

2nd tube was on during photo
future plan is to make this tank a java fern jungle with tenellus carpet
welcome for any suggestions ...
