Freshwater filter to Slightly Brackish Aquarium

[Justice Bucket]

Hi.

I have a filter on my freshwater tank (established) that I want to put on my slightly brackish tank (getting there) to help the cycling process along. Will the salt in the brackish tank (1.003) kill the bacteria on the freshwater filter?

you're going to want to increase the salinity very slowly so that the bacteria doesn't die, maybe .001 salinity every week or two weeks or so.

Will do. Thanks.
