Clownfish are damsels, but they are the only damsel you should consider. Any other damsel will be too mean.

Nassarius snails for sand, astrea and turbo snails for rock and glass. You could probably get a brittle star.

Just softy corals. Green star polyp, mushrooms, maybe pulsing Xenia, Kenya tree, toadstool coral, maybe zoanthids but they can be harder sometimes.

Just let the tank sit for a month or two with rock and sand and saltwater in there. And put
Something like Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria in there with some ammonium chloride or a piece of shrimp to cycle your rock. Make sure to top off the tank with freshwater or get an auto top off to do it automatically. Wait around 2 months to add fish and then another month for two to add corals.

Rlly depends on where you live but yes. If you live somewhere where it gets hot, you need to buy a heater and a chiller or a fan, and then a temp controller to kick on the fan and turn off the heater if it gets too hot. Where I live I only need a heater cause it never gets that hot. And your definitely wanna weight to get the actual fish till your tanks been up for a month or so.
