I have a 26 gallon bow front. With lots of plants. I have 55 watts of
light running 12 hours a day. I notice some of my plants are dying. The
leaves look like you can see thru them. Like as if it is disintergrating
or something. Other plants are fine. It is strange.. Is that lack of
some type of nutrient?

I dose with trace elements and what not....

My question is basically what does the "see thru" leaves mean?

Crypts sometimes 'melt' like this if they have been moved around or the
water chemistry changed. If you think it is a nutrient problem check out:

What kind of plants do you have in there? That wattage is good for medium
and low light plants.
