55 gal newcomer

i just started a 55 gal saltwater tank. i've had freshwater for about 15 years but wanted something brighter and better. i spent about $1100 in all the "stuff". i bought what was told to me was the best light they carry. i believe it is a coralife. it is 260 watts i think. i then went with 40 lbs of live rock, 60 lbs of the live sand/water mixture. they also gave me some stuff to pour in to make it cycle faster i cant remember what that is called. i also have been adding 5mL of purple up i guess it makes the stuff on the live rock grow better? i also put in some kind of blower that circulates the water. hope it works ok.
