Hi Who sold you all that stuff? Put all the chemicals and all the test kits except for nitrite, nitrate and ammonia in the drawer. You wont be needing them for a while.
After you are sure your tank has cycled start adding mushrooms and soft coral frags and a small fish.
Several months down the line test your ca and if it is too low, add. There is nothing complex about a reef tank. The difficulty is rushing it.
Have patience and you will succeed.
Good Luck
