So I went to the store to buy a second filter and stress coat, and came back with a few fish :D
Came back with...
2 silver lyretail Molly's
2 long tail rosy barbs
4 buenos Aires tetras
2 red plates
2 black and yellow platys
As well as 2 Apple snails the size of a golf ball!
Here are some pics of the tank

Gave them to my uncle along the way, he has a tank full of brackish fish

That's not a good idea to add a whole school at once, it will probably shock your system again...

+1. Your filter will eventually adapt to the extra bioload, however, it won't happen overnight. As a precaution, test Amm/trites/trates and keep up with the water changes.
That is a lot of fish to add to a tank without doing a QT.

And I just noticed all the fish you have added in a matter of 2-3 days, why so many? It seems like a system shock is most likely to occur

Watch for another spike/shock in your system. That's a lot to add at once. (Way too many in my opinion)

Haha yea I kinda messed up on that
I have been running tests every 6 hours and all seems fine, I took a filter media from my other 29 gallon with all the bb in it and put it into one of the filters ( this tank has 2 filters btw)

As long as you check and watch for needing water changes you should be ok

Yea, had to set up my alarm to wake me every 4 hours to run tests, that's what I get for being impatient, but I don't care

Well as long as the fish is ok, then your in the clear. Post pics of the tank when your finished getting everything back in balance

The ph of water drops over time as bb uses up the buffering agents in it. Doing a large water change after a long period of neglect is a big no no. Especially doing a water change larger than 50%. By doing that, you gave the fish ph shock which killed them.

My suggestion: slow down so you stop killing soo many fish.
 
Well everything seems well, all fish are doing great and the ph levels are going down
