Instant Ocean: https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Ocean-Aq ... 351&sr=8-4

Prime Water Conditioner: https://www.amazon.com/Seachem-Prime-25 ... 54&sr=8-13

Again, both will be cheaper in pet stores. That's where I'd recommend you get these from.
Prime is used to treat the water and make it safe (remove chlorines and a whole bunch of other stuff) and Instant Ocean is only used for your saltwater pool.

Kent Marine Reef Salt, if you wanted that brand. Any of the brands for reef or saltwater fish will work, it doesn't have to be Instant Ocean though that tends to be the easiest to find. Amazon tends to be more expensive than anywhere else.

I thought Kent Marine was for salt water? That's what the care sheet says, right? Or am I going crazy?

Yes, you can use Kent Marine, I just personally use Instant Ocean and like it.
