That would be optimal I think. But you know after your tank is up and running and you have added a few simple easy hardy corals and gotten to mess around with your tank and get comfortable with maintaining it and the water quality then I think after a few months doing a couple of False Perc sized fish shouldnt be too tough to do.

Doing a SW tank aint all that tough, it really isnt. But a new tank, will go through several phases over the course of the first 2-3 months. Its normal for that to happen. These phases arent that tough to deal with and can usually be easily delt with. You will likely see several algae blooms during the cycling of your tank and shortly after wards you might have a couple of other issues such as hair algae bloom or Cyno-Bacteria pop up. These things are far easier to deal with when you dont have fish in the mix and your not having to add food to the tank to feed them which can further agravate the problem. How ever things get a lot more complicated and the stakes get a lot higher once you add a max load of fish to the equation. Add to the fact that we are talking about a small tank where things can very quickly go from good to bad in just a few short hours water quality wise. I think its best to have a little patience and move a little slow and get a good feel for things as opposed to jumping right in feet first at the word go. It will give you some experience, it will give you a chance to learn and a chance to do a little research as you go. I think this will signifacantly up the odds that you wont have any of the issues that many have and if you do they wont be as severe and this will make it easier to deal with. You wont be "learning while you burn".

This is not a hard hobby to get into, but it is one thats very unforgiving if you make a mistake. A lot of people get in this hobby and a year later or less they have thrown in the towel becuase thier fish or corals keep dying, or they become flustrated with constantly battling algae issues in tanks with high nutrient levels that fuel the algae. This also aint the cheapest hobby to get into either, but it can be a lot more expensive than it has to be if you get careless too.

I think your best bet is to do some research and come up with a good game plan. Get some consulation on it by asking a gazillion questions here. Once your comfortable that you have a good workable game plan get that tank started. Let it cycle for about 30-40 days then give it a little while longer to make sure things are stable. Add something really hardy like some mushroom corals or something of a simular nature if you have the proper light for them of course. See how things go for a couple of weeks. If you can keep the mushrooms alive then a couple of small fish should be a sunday afternoon walk in the park and a good indicator that your ready for more increasing challenges. Once you are feeling comfortable and confident then prehaps find a couple of small False Perc Juv. fish and add them to the tank. Adding smaller fish will lessing the impact to the tank and allow it to adjust for the added bio-load. As they grow the tank will continue to adjust a little at a graduale pace. You can add a few more corals from here as your knowledge and experience level grows and your tank begins to mature. In 9-12 months from now you will find that your 10 gallon Nano is quiet the slice of paradise!
