[goodoleboyz250]

No....are you testing your water? What are your results? Ammonia? Nitrate? Nitrite? Let us know and we can be of more help.

i tested the salinty, ph, amonia and everything looks good but I need help with a better test kit cause matching the colors aint that easy and it dont seem precise

I think you need to get some good test kits. The general consensus is Salifert is good. You don't want to do a water change because that will prolong your tank cycling. You need to know by using your test kits if the tank cycled Did you have an ammonia spike? Nitrite?

Salifert is the way to go.
