Can you post pics of your tank?

Opposed to freshwater, saltwater needs to go through what is known as a cycle and other steps before initial stocking. Additionally, you want to monitor water dusing the process and adjust accordingly.
Can you describe your start up, preparations for fish, type of test kits, and typs of filters?
Also are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
Lastly, how did you introduce the fish to the tank?

Do you have any experience with freshwater?
freshwater needs a cycle 2.
I started with freshwater and continued with it and this kind of insults me. pls learn some about freshwater before u post about it.

I owned a pets store for many years and 44 years total in the hobby. Speaking of insults, I noticed youre new here and have been quite rude.
I did NOT say freshwater does not require a cycle which revolves around the the nitrogen cycle. Many convert from fresh and jump into a saltwater tank and dont realize you cant start stocking on day 5 as you can in freshwater and there is a difference with necessary equipment ( lights -filters- chemistry and so forth) and in a respectful manner, i am trying to ask this person questions and suggest as needed.
Your arrogance will not go far on this site - Trust me
