I'm not a branded fertiliser user, but I don't think this contains any nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P)? If you add CO2 you increase the plants demand for nutrients, and nitrogen is the one <"that plants need most of">.plant Fertiliser Easy-Life ProFito
Where did you source your plants? I read a study on nematodes infecting imported aquarium plants that were redistributed in the EU.

You need to add a <"fertiliser that contains all the essential nutrients for plant growth">. Have a look at <"It's very Green">.
If the holes are in the older leaves? It may be potassium (K) deficiency, but this may be caused by a lack of nitrogen etc.

Hi all,

I agree with @dw1305 , this is without any doubts lack of NO3 and K (and probably PO4 too). Source: I'm long term user/copier of Profito formula, this is brilliant micronutrient fertilizer but it must be accompanied by the NPK (there is not enough K in the Profito and there is no N and no P at all).
Water-soluble potassium oxide K2O: 1%.
Trace elements:
0.24% Fe iron,
0.31% MgO magnesium oxide,
0.02% B boron,
0.10% Mn manganese,
0.002% Zn zinc,
0.003% Cu copper,
0.003% Al aluminium,
0.003% Co cobalt,
0.003% Ni Nickel,
0.003% Li Lithium,
0.002% Se Selenium,
0.003% Va Vanadium,
0.001% Sc Scandium,
0.002% Te Tellurium,
0.002% Nb niobium.
Chelate EDTA, DTPA, NTA.
That is very useful. So lacking in the three macro-elements (N: P : K), but containing all the micro-elements.Water-soluble potassium oxide K2O: 1%.

Competitor in the <"World's most expensive water"> competition?I don't fully understand their business model regarding Profito
Without any doubts, that's one of the reasons I've started to learn/refresh some basics of chemistry for myself.
