parameters? cant tell you much without knowing them.
filterization and GPH would help alot also.
GBTA, and other commercial anemone, are usually injected with dye to sell the product. as it matures it looses its color.
need more info!!!

out too much?i should also add that i tried kalkwrasser for awhile
