add K2SO4
KNO3 isn't enough potassium.
and watch for any loaches in your tank. They sometime punch holes in the leaves.

Problem with Hygro...PINHOLESs
.. I cant even i cant even go the easiest plant.. correctly..
my Hygro sunset and Hygro Poly
They all have pinholes at the older Lower Leaves.
My new Sunset are getting them too now. Its horrible
I got 2.5w diy c02. but this shouldnt be a problem
I know its a Fert Problem.. Try adding more phosphate? Tryed it.. still wont work
IM using THE EI Dose. for a 30G. Maybe i should dose more?
Could my big bush of LM. cause this since it is a fast grower

Pinholes are either a mineral defficiency ( most likely potassium as mentioned above ) or something is eating holes in the leaves. Calcium or magnesium are the next logical steps.
Its Getting Worst. Now i see alot of holes everywhere, and leaves falling OFF.
IM dosing 1/4 tsps of kno3
1/16 of k2s04
1/16 potassium sulfate
And how would i get Magnesium and calcium?

im sorry to hear that the hygro isnt working out for you. the stuff you got came out of a tank almost exactly like you have.
here is what i dose.
1/4 tsp of KNO3 and 1/16 tsp of KH2PO4 m-w-f
tpn t-th-sat
i also use excel twice a week
and change 50% of the water on sun.
hope this helps!

you'd want to add a little extra MgSO4 & CaSO4 or CaCl2.
or a GH booster...

oh, I just saw that they sell CaCO3 too. that'll boost your KH up and provide calcium but it'll up your PH.
CaSO4 or CaCl2 doesn't affect ph.
