Use whatever salt people use to make saltwater for saltwater fish. Instant Ocean, Oceanic, Red Sea...

There's also more info in this thread that explains why to use salt mixes that are sold for saltwater aquariums, list of some brands, and breaks down the amounts for mixing smaller batches. viewtopic.php?t=93854
It also goes over dechlorinators too. :)

Some Walmarts do carry a saltwater fish salt, but I haven't seen it in my local store. I can't remember the brand name. It might be Tetra. It has to be for marine fish, not freshwater fish. API Freshwater Salt and Doc Welfish are NOT the right kind of salt.
