Hard to trust an expired kit but I wouldn't be surprised if ammonia was down. In 1 test 8ppm was dropped to 0 in 3 to 4 days.

How long has tank been cycling?
Should I put pure ammonia?Sprinkle a little bit of fish food or pellets in the tank.
Got it. I’ll do that.No ammonia, fish food. Sometimes bacteria needs carbon source and pure ammonia will not provide that.

Also check the pH and alkalinity.
If alkalinity is low it will stall the cycle.
Keep salinity low if you can about 1.018
Thanks sir I appreciate it.Yes a little hypo will speed up the cycle specially through nitrites stage.
Low alk will also stall the cycle.
