Petco sea water "could" work for keeping a tank... but why would you use that when there are much better salt mixes out there for a lot cheaper than the pre-made stuff. Granted I'm almost 80% sure that the pre-made stuff from Petco will be fairly low in salinity... mainly because petco has no idea what they are doing when it comes to aquaria in general. Also this premade saltwater will NOT cycle your tank.
