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.
