You need to post pictures or describe them better, as just 'holes' can describe almost every type of deficiency to some degree. We also need to know what plants have the issue.
Generally speaking though, you likely have a macronutrient issue (NPK), with potassium (K) being the most likely culprit.

Have a crappy cell camera but there just round holes. Not any kind of discoloration or anything. There on my swords, crypts, ludwigia. I've only got 9 small fish and its heavily planted.

Small pinholes or large holes? What's your nitrate level?

They start small then get bigger. But not huge. Less than 5ppm.

Your nitrogen is pretty low, so that might be playing in. What's your setup like? Light, ferts, CO2, etc?
