You need to remove the carbon, so if your media filter has carbon you'll have to remove. Carbon negates the medicine so that's what it tells you that.. Leave the bio filter
For basica table salt treatment ( I use uniodized as well ) Is 2 tsp. Per gallon of water. Dosed out at 3-4 hour intervals. Dilute first. Never add salt straight :)

Yes, that is what it means. The bio filter should be fine.
The medicine alone may not take care of it. You need to raise the temp AND add aquarium salt (or non-ionized). Search the web for the amounts of dosage of salt.
