Instant ocean is the most commonly used. Its affordable and a good quality.

I never liked Red Sea. Their products are good but inconsistent in my opinion.

Salt mix, not premixed. You make it at home. Enough salt to make 50 gallons.

I've used IO, IO Reef crystals and Red Sea coral pro. Really no difference between coral pro and reef crystals that I've seen. I still have to dose no matter what mix I use.

I used to use instant ocean but it wouldn't dissolve all the way so I switched to the kent reef salt and it dissolves fast the waters clear and it has all the trace elements I need to keep my coral happy. I only have a bio cube though so depending on the size aquarium u have you might have to add stuff. It's cheep and it's been working pretty good for my aquarium

Are you using the stock t5s? They don't make a good retrofit kit for this size so it will have to wait until I set my 44 gallon up again. I have metal halides for that. I've found 1 retrofit kit for this aquarium but I don't have much faith in LEDs
