38 gallon reef
I have 50 lbs of sand and 50 lbs of rock is that enough?

I have always heard that a general "rule of thumb" is 1-1.5 pounds per gallon, but I think the more important aspect over weight is maintaining good flow throughout the tank and avoiding dead spots. You definitely have enough to support a biological filter.

I would say plenty, possibly for me anyway to much. It really depends on the rock. Is it dense heavy rock or light porous rock.

Is the tank cycled?
May have jumped the gun on the fish.
