Tank Cycling

[domzzz]

Today is day 2 of cycling my new tank.
The parameter are as follows:

KH: 9dkh
PH: 8.5
NO2: <0.9 l/mg
Temp: 31deg C

My Tank is a around 21gal
I'm using seawater purchase from lfs
How do i increase the kh, lower the ph, and lower the NO2
If NO2 = 0, does it mean NH3 should be 0?

Thanks

Just added 4kg of LR into my tank today.
(was told by the person at the fish shop that using sea water LR can be added after 3 days as all the needed chemical are already in the sea water so dun have to wait for so long)
Parameter was as follows b4 adding LR:

ph 8.5
no2 <0.9/mg
nh3 0.08 mg/l
temp 31deg C (will be getting a fan soon)

Will do the test again tonight. Any thing to take note of at this point of time??

Thanks
