I read on diffrent sites that seargent majors are ok for nanos newbie mistake I guess. And I think I'm gonna go with the biotope...

Hmmm, well there are many fish that go by the name "Sergeant Major", but the usual one referred to as a "Sergeant Major Damselfish" gets to be 6-8". Do you know which one yours is?

Im pretty sure its the damselfish.

Probably. They make better tankmates in big tanks where their adult aggression can be spread upon a larger population.

Well I can't really afford to get a bigger tank ( only in high school) and I don't really have the space for anything bigger than 30 gallons

That's ok. You can find a new home for the Sergeant Major. Maybe the LFS will take it back. I've seen this fish dominant an entire 65-gallon tank killing anything that was added to the tank. It lived happily with several other fish until it got bigger and started killing off the other fish until it was the only fish left.
