New reef set up

setting up a 60g reef, how much live rock do I need to get, and what type of bottom media would be best? Live sand/mud, crushed coral? And what salt brand is good/better/best/ And more importantly what are the hardier type of corals to start with.
Used to have salt a while back(15yrs ago) but I have mainly been breeding freshwater Angels and Discus in a 240g. But have sold the 240g and need a refresher course.

Thanks in advance…

I have the following so far.

60g glass
30"tall stand
25g sump w/200micron sock
rio1700
9w turbo Uv
