Can anyone help I have a 30 g tank which is set up for freshwater, as I have now moved my tetras to a new home my GSP has the tank all to himself, apart from the marine salt which I have to add does my filter media need to change for brackish water I have an container filter which is attached permantly to the inside of the tank?

No, the same media is fine for brackish and fresh. Just increase SG by no more than .002 per week, and your bacteria keeping the tank cycled will adapt fine and your tank will stay free of nitrites and nitrates.
