You mean "Hyposalinity". "Hypersalinity" is raising salinity levels. If you're reffering to mechanicl filters they will work just as well in brackish water as full salinity. If you're reffering to the microbial stuff on filters most of it likely will do fine.

It stresses fish out and leads to weird deficiencies in my experience.
The filtration doesn't change.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
