I would suggest to bring up your Mg to 1360, lower your Ca to 450 to 430 and your alk is a big high to a 8.5 to 8. I run my alk at 8.4, Ca at 445 and my Mg at 1360. Everything else look right on. The anemone looks healthy and if I were going to guess I would say the Anemone is a Ritteri Anemone or a sebae Anemone, I am not sure though:)

Thanks pjs.
I noticed that both frogspawn and my torch seem to be dying the frogspawn has lost one of four heads ive moved it to adifferent position but i dont have high hopes for it ive got an open top tank and the heat grom the equipment is making my a.t.o pumps a lot of r.o into the system is it possible that its diluting some vital elements in the water things like strontium iodide etc its just a theory but somethings not right my params seem fine unless it is low salinity i was thinking as its dosing so much ro top up i would start putting trace elements in the ro water or replace the ro top up for saltwater for a couple of days what does everybody think.
Thanks.

Hi zhenya.
Well no more fish, coz the corals fascinate me so much and i recently sold my 8 foot malawi tank, but really miss it, so the future is to get a bigger tank but ive got some learning to do before i upgrade i want to be simplistic like have 3 live rock colonies with some montis growing upwards aswell as the corals i have now i just love the look

What corals do you like?
Zhenya
