mohammad, you don't live too far from J&L aquatics. Take a water sample ( about a half liter ) and ask them to test your water for PH and Alkalinity. They'll tell you what's wrong with your water .

J&L has new rules for testing water on the weekends

you have to know what do u want to be test so they only test one thing

What are you using at home to test your salinity? What was the kH reading the stores got from your water?

Honestly, you need to buy some test kits and learn how to test for parameters. It is kind of an important part of keeping a healthy tank. Especially when you're just starting out.

i will buy a test kit when i can
at the store they said its just high everything
the water condition is like a new tank set up
im using a "redsea hydrometer " to check my salinity and temp "
