Why wont my tank cycle?

[Enkay]

So I got with Adam and he is building me a brand new shiny 120 gallon tank.

 

Will start a dedicated tank thread once I get pictures as he starts the build.

Here is a stupid question. Should the color of NO AMMONIA be absolutely lemon yellow like you would see for fresh water?

 

Here are my readings today :

Ammonia : Greenish tending towards yellow (exactly what it has been for a while now)

Nitrites : 0

Nitrates : < 5

pH : 8.3 ish

 

Dont know what I am seeing no change. Something gotta change in here when I have been adding food.

 

If you're having a hard time judging the color at the low end of the test range, run two samples at the same time. One test with your tank water, and a second test with new saltwater. Then compare them side by side.

Ahh... very good idea, thank you!
