I would probably add 3-4 chromis in there. They all seem to get along well as a schooling group.

Yes they would school nicely but the tank would be too crowded. I'd stick with the two percs only.

I think that it will be fine if you do regular water changes. I don't know about the skimmer though, meaning that i don't own a saltwater tank. Mine kept killing fish so it is now a freshwater tank. Ask me about fish though, and i can answer about anything. Well, not really, about half of anything

2 perculas could work esp. if they had an anenome to host. 2-4 damsels could also work.

would 2 percs in a 10 gallon work??? i already have an anemone, but i wasn't sure if the percs had enough space. i will start my 46 gal bowfront soon and transfer them in there. can the percs stay in a 10 gal for a couple months?
