Holes in Kleiner plants

[PorshaF]

@Avel1896 I could remove the two plants I'm having problems with and trim them in a quarantine tank and wait for new growth. I'm also still working on catching all the pond snails to rule out them feeding on the plants.

@itiwhetu I believe the foot print is 30"X12" I'll have to find a tape measure. There's 14 individual plants, 3 bunches of 20+ inches long of hornwort. I could add a few more stem plants, so in theory it will balance out the increased light. I'll keep the lights on longer for a couple weeks to watch for improvement.

Thanks for the ideas!

@PorshaF if they're heavily affected you should trim them in a quarantine tank and wait for new growth
Do not forget snails are good detritibore
They eat plants only if they decay.

Edit : and if they're hungry that means no waste in your tank

Looks to me like an old submerge leaf dying off - have you had the plant more than 8 months?
