What's on my potted citrus leaves?

Does anyone know what is causing the brown spots on my lime tree leaves? I've had some upwards leaf curl for a few weeks, potentially caused by my daily watering. I recently replanted in miracle grow cactus soil mix and have reduced my watering regime with the help of a moisture sensor.

The plant is on a 5th floor patio which has moderate wind and full sun. For the past couple of days I put the plant next to a brick wall to give it some shade in the afternoon.

I've also had a problem with mealy bugs, but I've been picking them off daily and now their population is minimal. When I re-potted, the roots were a bit sparse, but light brown and not mushy.

About a month ago I sprinkled on some slow release citrus fertilizer, which is also about the time I started to see some leaf curl.

I will include some more photos after this post.

Thank you!
