Of course. Since I had only been doing this for a few weeks I knew I should buy everything they recommended.

It almost sounds like you're being sarcastic, but if not, here's your first lesson: Most LFS employees have no clue what they're talking about, or they are stuck in the 90s and don't realise there are much more updated methods.

There is no salt that is "especially for RO". What salt did they recommend to you?

Welcome to CanReef, the place where you'll learn more than the LFS employees.

Of course I was being a little sarcastic. I've learnt so much from Canreef during the past 3 months. I have to admit that now I check the forums more than I check Facebook.

^ That's a good thing. Facebook is annoying.

LOL, I totally agree Myka

Use PH buffer to raise PH to 8.3
Also I don't think you need your light on during cycling your tank (if you do not have fish in there). More lighting will benefit the ugly brown algae growing on the glass and rocks.
