Did some research. Found out you can use Morton "water-softener" salt. Can get a 40 lb bag for $5 !!! Way cheaper than the API Aquarium Salt that my local Petsmart is always out of stock of.

I'm about to head down to Home Depot to buy a bag!

Here's a link!

Also found this from Morton's site: http://www.mortonsalt.com/faqs/index.html#q8

8) Which Morton products can be added directly to a koi pond or fresh water?

When salt supplementation is advised, Morton recommends using Morton® White Crystal® Solar Salt or Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt for fish ponds and fresh water aquariums, as these products do not contain additives. Note that it may be advisable to make a solution from the salt before adding it to the pond or aquarium. Please see your fish expert or veterinarian for the proper use of salt in a pond or aquarium.
