What type of aquarium salt?

[MDK500]

What type should I use to treat my fish? Do I use normal aquarium salt or some kind of special salt? Need help quick please.

Aquarium salt, Kosher salt, or rock salt are the purest. Although I've heard that table salt is just fine as well.

lowes or home depot rock salt....like $5 for 50#

i usually just use the 'jungle'-brand aquarium salt, but that is out of convenience more than for cost

No reason why you cannot use a cheaper alternative called table salt.

Ok... so like traditional table salt is okay? Also is it okay to have carbon in my filter while treating with salt?

Yes, table salt is fine. Carbon cannot absorb salt so it is also fine for use.
