FWIW, I think seeding a filter is a good idea but as you say the bacteria may die off or go relatively dormant at lower salinity. I find the little seachem ammonia indicators are useful in QT, as ammonia can buildup very quickly. If I remember correctly lowered ph that you may run into with lower salinity makes ammonia more toxic. I could be remembering that wrong.
