Any marine salt would be fine. You can bring your sg up by .002 each week without killing your bacteria. You will need a refractometer or hydrometer that starts at 1.000 to do this.
I'm sorry but I have no idea what Aqualibrium is.

Ahh, I just looked it up. That's aquarium salt, not what you need, you need marine salt.

Yes, they are very messy eaters that are very sensitive to dirty water. And they grow quite a bit larger than you'd expect as well.
