And live sand? and best filter for it?


You don't need a filter if you add the live sand and fill with live rock. Personally if anything was added maybe a protein skimmer. After the live rock you could add a cleanup crew small hermit crabs and turbo snails. Take your time don't rush add live rock gradually. Pickup a Saltwater test kit.

Should i not add any salt pre mix or buffers?

Buy salt that is for reef and you won't have to worry about minerals. Also recommend purchasing a 5 gallon bucket so you can premix salt and water. Hydrometer will be needed to measure salinity.
