Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
what is the pump inside the tank doing?
I fill the tank with everything and let it circulate before adding rocks and sand so I just plumbed it in so the sump was empty.
 
See if you can I'd like to see what all of these look like.

Here's my Electric Daisy. Horrible picture.
 
Love the electric daisy!!!! I think it will also tie in the neon green cabbage leathers we have.
Google is my BFF... those electric daisy are amazing! Now I'm going to go Google all the others that were mentioned...
 
Looks like nipping to me. What other fish are in there with it?
Clowns - nicest fish in the tank
Hippo blue - probably won’t hurt anything
3 Kupang damsels - they can be mean sometimes

I didn’t read the other posts but my money is on the damsels but those are known to be the least aggressive.

Clowns usually meanest to other clowns but can be aggressive.
Damsels just hate everyone.

Every time I walk up to the tank, the clowns come swimming over to me. I think they want to jump out of the tank and hug me lol!!!
 
Very few damsel are not @
My yellow tail is very chill, it is the low man on the totem pole in my tank. Even the tail spot blenny puts it in its place.
