Is the tank you have currently running ? what equipment do you have ? If you are unsure what you have exactly post some pics so we have an idea of what we are working with.
Read up, do a little research , and we can help with what you do not understand.

The sand and rock is only alive if it is still in a running saltwater system. Your bag/bucket of salt should have directions about how much to use. It is usually about half cup per gallon of RODI water. Tap water can cause algae and other issues, so beware. Temp in a reef tank is usually around 77-79. Stability is key.
