Default Best water conditioner for saltwater?

I am in the middle of getting a new RO/DI setup, and my old one has been sold. I will have to op off with tap water for a bit.

Whats the best water conditioner to use for saltwater? Nutrafin? Big als? Prime?

+1 on the prime as well I have 2 tanks both with tap water and I use prime.

I fill up a large tub of water (probably 20gal or so) throw a powerhead and a heater into it and a cap full of prime and leave it sit for a day before I use it.
