Congrats! Looks like your well on your way. I will donate a cup of sand. Remind me to bring next meeting.
As to stocking your sand bed, I alternately use www.inlandaquatics.com and www.ipsf.com. Highly recommend adding the spagetti worms to whichever kit you get.
Are you also setting up a fuge in your sump? If so I will also donate some macro to help get you started there too.

With all that live rock, your sand should be teaming with life in no time. Also, my Southdown made a milkshake for about 24 hours then settled down. You might want to get a turkey baster to blow the dust off everything as it settles down.
