I see there are several reef centered boards out there. Is there any one in particular you would recommend?

Just a note on damsels, in general they do get territorial and can be a pain to remove later on once you have other fish in there that are more desirable. Chromis are a type of damsel that are typically less territorial.
With regards to the question of your tank cycle, you have added live rock and may have had enough die off to start a cycle, but if you have not been testing the water and been able to see ammonia increase, followed by nitrites and nitrates, then the cycle may or may not have happened.
You can toss a piece of raw shrimp into your tank to fuel the cycle, without risking live fish.
Reefcentral.com is an excellent source of information. You may have a local reef club around you as well.
Good luck and go slow.
