you dont need buffer or any other addatives. The salt mix is more than enough for a basic reef.

What size tank is it? Also there arent instant fixes.
 
I got 3 astrea snails for my 12g and they have knocked out 35% of my algea in 4 days. They are beasts and get everywhere to clean up. Turbo snails are a beast though and since your tank is soo large, you can get a few large ones.
 
well last time i checked this wasnt an english class so thanks for all your help and im sorry i wasted your time by having you read my really long sentence i hope that god will help me with my algae and i might just go to an english teacher for the help with the algae since obviously you cant thanks merry christmas
