I've noticed my plants are starting to get little holes, and leaves going brown. Not all of them are doing it, some of them are growing like mad. Any reasons? Read on the internet a potassium deficiency maybe..

I bought a Sera CO2 kit, and have been doing that every 2 days as per instructions along with Flourish Excel fertiliser. Tank is quite heavily planted and plants in question are Blyxa, Vallis and some I have no idea what they are(redish leaves, quite flowery looking). Anubias, HC, Flame Moss, Rotala Rundifolia(sorry, spelling!) and Crypts are all doing fine. Everytime I add Java moss it dies off as well

Tank is a Juwel Rio 180 with 2 x 45w T5 bulbs.

my plants all die within about a week but my fish are all fine

What type of plants are they? Many species sold at lfs are non-aquatic or higher demand (requiring higher lighting and/or CO2). So that could be a common simple reason why they are dying.

I listed the plants in my first post. Haven't been bought from an LFS, most purchased from UKAPS or on here.
