quack Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 hye just wondering if someone could let me know what the nutrient is that causes plants to form hole in the leaves when they are lacking it?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 What sort of plant? You haven't got plecs or BNs have you? They can suck holes in some of the more delicate plants. Snails eat holes too of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 and lack of light I think too caryl... are all the plant species doing this quack or just one in particular??? Is it just the old leaves or new ones as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 theres no BN,snails or plecs. i notice it in the faster growing plants like the stargrass and the hydrahilia(sp?) its not to bad. i would think lack of light could be it.. theres only about 70watts over a 215l tank and there is also co2 running too.
