I have 4 adult Otto's, 3 SAE, and 1 large Whiptail. Do you think the
Whiptail could be doing this? I didn't think they would do this. Also,
once a hole appears, the Clown Loaches start eating at it and make it
bigger. I think a lot of this will go away when I get my PMDD going as soon
as the rest of my ingredients come in. I got the Plantex CSM today. )

My melon sword put up a new marron'ish/red leave over the past couple of
days and it too has some small holes in it. About 4 days ago, I put some
SeaChem Florish tablets under the roots of all 4 of my Swords hoping that
helps.

My spell checker got the best of me.. replace the word "place" with
"pleco".

If you have a pleco, beware. -Bruce

Hi.

I am seeing some holes developing in some of my older Sword plant
leaves
and
have read this is due to K deficiency. Is this accurate? Can some of
you
please share your experience of dosing with Potassium? Currently I
have
SeaChem's Potassium Supplement and use it at not quite the recommended
dosage. What other factors could lead to a low K level?

Can you recommend a good, accurate K test kit?

Also, I am planning on stopping to use SeaChem's fertilizer products
once
my
ingridients for PMDD comes in. I have followed what thekrib.com says
for
what to get and will be following the advice from this site as well
about
how to dose. Any experience here will be appreciated.

For anyone that is using the PMDD mixing from The Krib, what kind of
results
are you getting, and how long did it take for you to notice
improvements
in
your plants? What was there before state and what is there state now
that
you have been dosing PMDD?

When dosing PMDD, did you stop other 3rd party fertilizers?

Thanks,
Jesse
