pink skunk and fake pecula

Hi dragonkid, welcome to reefs.org.
Generally, no. The skunk will punk the ocellaris, the anemone, we don't know what it is, and therefore, where it comes from. You can't toss in any old anemone for a clown, it may not host. And ten gallons is WAY too small for those two fish. One, maybe (my money's on the ocellaris), but if you've got something like a pink tip sebae, no way in a ten gallon.

gotcha....yea pink *tip (toe,what was i thinking......) is a wee bit too big...and i have the skunk in my tank right now...i have a flame scallop,an arrow head crab (will they bother each other?) and the pink skunk...is that alright? i promise i wont add anything... :lol: 
For as long as it lasts, yeah. But, as I said before, expect the skunk to punk. Ten gallons is really pretty small as far as marine fishes go. Anemones are a bit tricky, something like a bubble tip anemone (a.k.a. BTA) is easier for beginners, but still tricky relative to other invertebrates.
sorry if i didnt make myslef clear,i dont have a ocellaris or a pink tip,i was think if i could.......and yes,everything in my tank is where it should be.....except my ph.....i saw the other post about lowering the ph,but that kinda seemed inconclusive.....any ideas?
Well, without knowing about your source water, substrate, and some other parameters, it's hard to tell you what you have to do. How low is low? The Sodium bicarb is good, but we'd always like to see something like Aragonite (or Southdown) as a substrate, helps to buffer and leaches a bit of Ca.
What information do you have on it?

hmmm me buying this as a reef tank about january.....i dont know much background..my source of water is...faucet,with amquil in it....i really should be using distilled water,right?...and my ph is 8.5,umm dont know substrate...i could ask today cause im going down to the lfs...but i thinks its argonite...we are gonna do another water chage,we took out the dirty filter after the water change yesterday,so maybe its "contaminated"....and thatnk you for all the help so far,its very much appreciated!
yes,i have gathered those things are bad... :lol: :wink: ....its an eclipse system,"mini reef tank",umm,its got an atinic...god i forgot what wattage...lemme get back to you on that...and,well,theres not much to explain...my salinity,and water tests are perfect...except my ph...
Actual readings, as well as knowing exactly what kit you're using is what's most helpful. Do you have lighting other than actinic (since you've got an anemone)? How long have you been at this? There's lots of stuff to know so we can give you the best possible answers.
Hmmm, flame scallop? arrow crab? I can see problems already.
Unless you are feeding the flame scallop with phyto products, he will definetly die in the tank. But feeding phyto in a tank that small will spike up the nitrite so fast that all of your livestock will choke.
I couldn't imagine if anything could escape the arrow crab in tank that small, btw.

okay yesterday i took the skunk out...the arrow was trying to eat him,and hes doing the same things...oh well.......um actual readings-i will update my post in a few hours for i cant remember,but im pretty sure they are all on the nose..except for ph..and i have been feeding my flame scallop roto-rich,and now im feeding it phyto plankton...but my nitrite is alright (heh it ryhmed...wow that was lame)...oh and the test kit name is hagen...it comes in a box....
