So I measured with the kit I have and the water read really hard— the test barely registered how hard it is and that’s always a thing where I live but never really thought much of it.Heres the parameters I keep for my tank:
Salinity: 1.025 sg
pH: 8.2
Temperature: 78 F
Calcium: 430 ppm
Alkalinity: 8.5 dKH
Magnesium:1200
Nitrate: 5 ppm
Nitrite: 0
Phosphates: 0.15 a lot of people keep it at 0.01 0.04 but my level works for me.
Alkalinity, salinity, and temperature swings can hurt an anemone and corals for that matter, so it's important that you know what your parameters are and if they're constantly changing. My tank parameters are pretty good for what you want besides phosphates, however it isn't terribly important to get these exact parameters numbers in range of these are usually acceptable as long as they're stable. I would research into getting better test kits. Your anemone doesn't look good and I'm not sure it will make it unless you can do these things.
It’s just 1 bar for my tank24 is the standard size you are going to find. can take 1 bulb out at a time and replace with orphek or3 bar or go 4 x 24inch t5 either is pretty cheap. are the water reading that are hard from your freshwater tap or your saltwater tank? using rodi water?
