No, brackish is water with marine salt. Aquarium salt does not make a brackish or marine environment. If you want to make a brackish tank, you need to buy marine salt such as InstantOcean.

There are many other nutrients and minerals in marine salt necessary for healthy saltwater and brackish water systems.
