Yes....  The only issue with salt I believe is relevant to a freshwater
aquarium is if a anti-caking agent is added to the salt.  I use pickling
salt by Morton usually because its just salt and is small particle size
and is cheap.  Rock salt is also fine.  Water softener salt is fine and
is the cheapest by far(no additive type).  Been a lot of hype about
Iodized salt being bad, which its really not.  You could even use the
anti-caking stuff if you do not mind the crap floating around in the
tank.
