Freshwater bacteria on Saltwater

[Sammy]

Howdy all,

Im new to saltwater, been running fresh for few years and I am really digging the reef setups. I can see many changes to my fish room over the next couple years thats for sure. (Ok... next few months)

Need some input or feedback about Freshwater/saltwater beneficial bacteria.
I have been reading quite a few reports on the net lately that The beneficial bacteria from the freshwater filter will do the same job on a saltwater tank if transfered over. I was under the impression that it would not work on a reef tank once seeded by a fresh water tank? Anythoughts?

Cheers,

Sammy
