Your nitrates should be sky high right now. 80+ppm normally.
Sorry to say, but you haven't cycled your tank. You have to add a major ammonia source, to get it up to 4ppm. Not the around .25ppm that your live rock supplied.
On a side note, live sand is practically useless IMO. Doesn't really do much.
