You'd be better off using distilled water. The issue is that those minerals will throw off levels in the salt and what amount they have I don't know.

Would be ok to use for now and then go distalled next week? I only do 4 gal wc on my 15 nano so 4 one gallon distalled jugs from Publix wont be too bad

I really don't know because I don't know the levels of those added. Maybe @Randy Holmes-Farley might be familiar with them. They aren't harmfil, it's just idk how far off they would throw the salt. You can mix it and then test alk, calcium, mag, and potassium and see
