Details of water, light, types of plants, and maybe a few more pictures from a bit further back. Looks like either minor element deficiency or a bacteria, but hard to tell from the pics provided. General layout of system would possibly help as well. Are you dosing with Seasol/Root Magic.

Potassium may be lacking. Try potassium bicarbonate (eco rose?)

Did it rain before you took the first shots? Everything looks wet. The wetness could be the issue.
