Don't feel bad. I didn't know anything about cycling either when I set up my 10G. With Fish. And because of it I had quite a few casualties. RIP
In your case, you have no fish yet so you don't have to worry about fish loss. Some of the others here referred you to some cycling info? Have u figured it out?

Welcome to the tank! Your tank looks very nice and will make a great fish home once you've got everything running smoothly! First thing you want to read up on is cycling your tank, there are several stickies in the forums, you can also take a look at the link in my signature for some more good information.
You also need to stop messing with your PH, no more ph chemicals, they will just mess with your tank. Stable PH is much more important than having a certain number.

Can you possibly not capitalize Every Word When You Write? It makes it kind of difficult to read. Be wary of fish stores that tell you your water is "fine" and then sell you something. Sounds "fishy" to me. I suggest you purchase your own test kit and do the testing yourself. Post the results up here if you don't know what they mean.
