bacteria in saltwater tanks



Hi list,

I apologize if this question may be inappropriate.  I have a freshwater tank
with plants and gravel and an overflow filter.  If I were to change the tank
to a saltwater tank, and use the same filter, what bacteria will die?  What
bacteria will live?  I assuming that some bacteria or all die (due to change
in salinity), does the tank need a period of time to cycle like a freshwater
tank.

Thanks in advance.
