Looks very nice. I have a wp25 on my 40 breeder tank, and it is powerful enough to send water flying out of the tank; even on the lowest settings, I have problems with sand blowing around and some areas of extreme flow. I don't think you could use one on a 30g tank without major issues. The wp10 should be plenty. I have one of those on a smaller tank and love it.
Don't waste your money on products like purple up. Lots more useful things to spend money on in a new tank - like coral!
What are your stocking plans?

How long has the tank been running? If your levels are good (no ammonia, no nitrite, low nitrate), then you should be ready for some beginner corals. A lot of people start out with softies since many of them are easy, but I prefer stony corals and started with LPS like brains and favias. It really depends on what you like.
I wouldn't start out with SPS, but most soft corals and LPS are beginner friendly. Start off with cheaper things you like and avoid expensive small frags - the less you get for the money, the more delicate it tends to be. Better to explore those options once you have experience under your belt.
