Did you use tap water in starting your tank?
The ALK of 300 is in ppm I believe. Divide by 50 and multiply result by 2.8 gives the dKh = 16.8 .....not horrible.....a little high.
Phytoplankton is what I use.
Honestly, I would just start over....you are not that far into it, which is good. Aragonite sand is, IMO, the best you can do. There are many...
You might be able to get away with a few softies. A few LPS. PCs are just, flat out, not the thing to have for reef tanks. It is possible. Take a...

I think you could use the sand.....but you had better wash it out good. I wouldn't put it in as is. Asking for trouble and a new cycle for sure. I...
