|||Do you even have a salt water tank that's cycled? If not... all those fish are going to die in that tank. It takes WEEKS to cycle a salt water tank or any tank for that matter. I have Reason to believe that you don't have a cycled marine tank because you're asking about the best brand of salt.You need to research these things BEFORE purchasing fish or anything else.|||"Cheap" and "best" are two terms that seldom apply to the same product.


For salt mix (which you mix with water to make artificial sea water), I recommend Instant Ocean or Reef Crystals. Another good one is made by SeaChem-- I don't remember the product name.





Starfishes and sea cucumbers live in salt water (only), but they are not fish. They belong to a class of invertebrates called echinoderms.





Please don't buy any more fish or sea animals without even having water to put them in. 12 marine fish for a 30-gallon tank is far too many, and they will surely die before long. Starfishes and sea cucumbers also need specialized care, or they too will die quickly. Before you do anything else, read several books on saltwater aquarium-keeping.|||maybe you should have done some research before you bought living creatures from ebay...
