Rookie
I just got my Balolat Pure Storm LTd Gt and don't if I really like
Technifbre Bibiface 18/Gosen MS 18 at 50/48.
I was recommended going with a low tension and low gauge here.
The demo was 59 tesnion with Bablotat Xcel Power.
I like the demo more.
Though I am trying to be careful as I have Tennis Elbow that is one
reason I got thsi reacquet then.
Please let me know your thoughts and recommendations here.

Not sure if the Bibiface is the same thing as the Biphase but maybe it was the type of strings you decided to hybrid. This racquet truly is string sensitive and the users of this GREAT stick usually don't like the same strings as others like. The only common theme is to string it at a lower tension. With that said, I prefer Solinco Revolution 18g at 51 with Gosen Micro 18g at 49. I also have liked the Kirschbaum PLII 18g in my mains with the same tension at the Revolution and also with the Gosen string as the crosses.

For the record, if you prefer the feel of "Bablotat" Xcel Power then try to experiment with that at around the same tension as your demo.

This is a great racquet for avoiding TE. I would go with a comfy multifilament and then go as low as you can with the tension. You don't have to worry about low tensions with this stick as it is so low powered that low tensions actually help put a little more power back. I use MultiFeel at 50 lbs and it is the perfect balance between control and power for me with that racquet.
 
Though I haven't tried this particular racquet, I have tried both Biphase X1 and Xcel Power strings.

I think both strings are very good and the reason you might not like your current setup could be the fact you are not using a full set of X1.

X1 in my opinion is the best multi out there though durability is the main drawback. X1 plays a bit stiff for the first hour then it becomes a very good string until it breaks after 10 hours or so of hitting. It offers good control, power, and is a crisp string.
