Cossack, check the label on your bottle of Leaf Zone.

The Leaf Zone that I have here (in the US) is basically iron and potassium.

What do the directions say and do you have fish in the tank? How big is the tank. When in doubt go with less to see what happens you can always add more if needed. I have found that on a lot of the fert bottles and tablets if you put in what is recommended you will get a algae bloom. As with anything in this hobby start small and work up. It may take longer to get the results you want but in the end there will be less headaches.

I use the same stuff.

I thought this would be plenty of iron.

ok
if everyone thinks that there is enough iron going into the tank what could be the cause of yellow leaves on the swords.

every thing else is doing well.

can you over dose in iron?

In addition to what has already been said....... if you choose to add the chelated iron, this article should help you Dosing

Unfortunately, from what I've read, there are many things that seem to cause the symptom of yellow leaves. Here's a couple of my diagnostic bookmarks, perhaps they will help:
