You do not want your kH higher than 12. I would wait to get your first fish until you get that straightened out. You will probably have to do a few water changes without buffer.

My local fish store told me it should be between 12-14 they only deal with saltwater fish

No, ideal kH is between 8 and 12. Anything above 12 is a little too high.
