So, I agree with Wayne on the water. You should be able to use it, BUT...

And this is a really big BUT - Saltwater tanks are setup almost completely differently than freshwater tanks. About the only thing that you might be able to reuse is the heater and the lights.

I would really recommend draining the tank, doing a whole lot of reading, upgrading your hardware for salt and setting it all back up again.

why start with any potential phosphate or nitrate?

If you are cleaning water, vinegar and some elbow grease is perfect.
