    Hi...

    looks like my lotus is suffering from some deficieny.
    What is the missing link?

    Btw, have not started a fert regime yet.
    Occassionally, Dr Mallick AquaGro and Micros.
    Add K2SO4 when I'm happy.

    kh = 6
    ph = 7.5
    temp = 26-27 deg (fan)



    can u help me locate the culprit?

    Check NO3, PO4, Fe.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    I get the same for one of my tanks even though there's K.

    Are all the leaves like that? If on old leaves only, then it could point to K deficiency. For my case, holes normally appear on old leaves but not as much as yours.

    What about other plants, any problems?

    If you want, can try stuffing a small bit of Jobe or Horti plant stick at the base to see if it improves. I think they are quite heavy root feeders.

    Jobe or Horti will likely make it grow quite big...

    Do you use CO2? Because there's not any in there at KH of 6 and pH of 7.5, about 6ppm or so and 20-30ppm is a good range if you use it. Other wise you can try adding something to the gravel but the plants do really look nice with CO2 added.
