freshwater tank into a QT tank...?

[matth2181]

i have a 10 gallon freshwater tank thats been up for about a year and i want to move those fish into another tank and use the 10 gal as a saltwater QT tank, obviously the tank is cycled and all that... so the question is can i just clean out the tank just rinse it all out then fill it with saltwater with the same filter?
thanks

Yes, you can use the same filter...fill the tank with saltwater...let it cycle. Using water from the DT from your water changes will quicken the process.
