after about 4 weeks or so can you add a protein skimmer and not hurt the fish...?

you can add your skimmer whenever, its just in the first few weeks/months there isnt a lot of organic protien built up yet in a new tank so you dont need to run the skimmer during that time -- if you have a lot of live rock then a skimmer will really clean up the water

Totally. You can add the skimmer the first day if you like. Its actually better to set it up as soon as possible.
