Nice start with tank.
Do Not add buffer and you have some cyano and hair algae to battle.
I assume you are using tap water ?
Also is your tank getting a little sunlight during the day?
I notice a couple of snails in the pic. .. add 3 of each : Turbo, astrea, trochus and Nerite snails who will get some of this cleaned up for you.
OTHERWISE AGAIN - OFF TO A NICE START.
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef! You're in a good place for help and advice. Water changes with good clean source water will never hurt, but definitely make a post in chemistry forum so we can all see and help out more (:
