Beneficial bacteria - Fresh to salt?
I used to have this canister filter on my Iwagumi nature aquarium layout
but after months and months of going by my lfs to pick up misc. items. I can't help but notice their stunning coral area. So I decided to start my own reef about a month ago. Would the beneficial bacteria 'go away' (can't find the right wordings) from a freshwater to saltwater transition? In other words, would it still help jump start my bacteria colony? |

No, it won't transition. Although I did just read one article by a company trying to sell a chemical that said there's no difference & that it will transition fine, but at the end of the article it says the saltwater tank will still cycle after you do all the changeover
 .Read under Converting to Saltwater in this article for better advice.
