ok i finally got my pumps from ups andi have my tank set up and salt in the water my ph is 8.2 should i add super buffer to maintain this or will it just be adding something that i dont need into the tank? i just have 30lbs aragonite oolitic sand in there right now about to add 20lbs live sand and then once the cycle is over ill be adding 50lbs premium live sand (40 from swf.com and 10 from lfs)

No, its useless to use the buffer right now. Your PH is fine. Your tank should stay at a steady PH. The only time you need to use it is if for some reason your PH drops.

i thought the buffer was used to prevent a droppage

You can add some buffer to any fresh water you use to make up for evaporation. Other then that that is all you should need for now. 8.2 is good 8.4 is better.
