Slow down and don't be putting anything in your tank until it's healthy. You have 10 pages of "save my tank". Your tank takes time to get to a healthy stage, no need for anymore deaths or problems due to a lack of patience.

My Rock flower has lived through everything, we even forgot it in the sump (face down) for like 2 weeks once. Hearty indeed

The biggest thing in this hobby is patience, nothing happens quickly as you are creating an artificial ecosystem. Anemones are particularly sensitive to sudden changes.

A good way to look at it is set goals, and use the pretty live stock to reword yourself when you achieve these goals. Mine for example involve months of stability, for example after X months, I can get X.

But then again I can be impulsive, especially with seasonably available fish, hence why my sump may have a few fish waiting for my 200 gallon build to cycle. But then again my sump consists of a 90 gallon with live rock and lights to grow mushrooms, xenia and gsp, in addition to a traditional 75 gallon partially filled sump.
