So I have been suffering from some rather anemic growth in one of my tanks. The pictures below basically sum it up (sunset hygro). Is this a nutrient or CO2 deficiency? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My first impression is nutrient deficiency. CO2 deficiency usually results in stunted growth with clear patches in the leaves, not yellow IME.

I'm going to have to agree with others here.
I don't use CO2, but I have hard calcium loaded water and dry dose the tank and the tops of my sunset are bright pink/red and growing like the weed that it is.

What's your routine, ferts, co2, lights?
We can't give you good advice unless we have a baseline.

Yeah, it will be hard to provide a definitive answer without this information.

Though for the moment, I'd guess that you don't have enough iron.
