My experience comes from terrestrial, container grown plants (as you may 
be able to tell from recent posts, see a fertilizing mess).  If you were 
to come to me with those symptoms for a container plant I would first 
suspect N difficency, however in an aquatic environment where N is not 
leached K also fits the symptoms.  You might try fertilizing with KNO3 
(potassium nitrate) to cover both K and N.  I'm assuming you have ruled 
out other considerations like a massive change in water chemistry.
