Cycled Freshwater for Saltwater?
I have a cycled freshwater tank. Can i use this water for my saltwater tank. I would just add the saltwater mix in it and WALA cycled saltwater?

Nope. The bacteria are different. Plus, I would not suggest using tap water for a marine tank. An RO/DI unit is a great investment!

Also, I would suggest cycling with live rock. You can run a fish-only system, but the benefits of live rock outweigh the cost difference IMO.
