Good info. I've used mainly the API test kit for my Ammonia readings but I do have a kit by Hagen/Nutrafin too. The colour chart on the booklet for the ammonia test on my kit shows yellow/lime green as being 0 ppm. There are two charts on the booklet, one for fresh & one for salt water. The sw one has the more lime colour as 0 so you should be ok with bright yellow unless they've changed the kit. Mine was aquired used and there's no best before date on the bottles.

Apologies if I raised ammonia alarm bells for nothing. Like you already suspect, more water flow will benefit the system and you'll also want to beef up the lighting to keep your anemone healthy. Any idea wha species of anemone you have? I have a BTA for my maroon clown pair and it doesn't look anything like the one in your photo so I suspect it's a different sort. Not good with nem ids myself, other than BTAs.
