Depending on the degree of hyposalinity, or your definition of "too much salt", it could kill the tank inhabitants.

Too much salt can lead to elevated salinity levels in a reef tank, which can stress and harm the inhabitants such as corals, fish, and invertebrates. It can also interfere with the osmoregulation of marine organisms, impacting their overall health and potentially leading to death. Regular monitoring and maintenance of salinity levels are crucial for a healthy reef tank ecosystem.

Can you use water softener salt in a marine tank?
In general that is not a good idea. It will contain too much sodium or potassium. When you add the salt water mix to the water, the manufacturer expects the water to be free or nearly free of these. The extra minerals will change the salt water into one that has too much salt or too much potassium. Having said that, I think there are some people who do use it and do ok. It probably depends on how they make their salt water and what they put in the tank.
Is 9690 G.P.H too much flow for an 92 Gallon corner reef tank?
I would go with yes. 9690 GPH is a lot of power. However there are other factors. It all depends on your set up, The resistance could reduce that down a lot and adjusted in the right directions, it could be harmless, but still that is a lot of power for a small reef tank.
Do you need a reef pump for a salt water aquarium?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is... a reef tank is a tank that is supposed to mimic a coral reef. On a coral reef, the water is always moving. If at all possible, try to mimic the tides by using pumps on a timer. If done correctly, it can simulate a tide change. Remember that at dead low and dead high tides, there is some time, depending on the phase of the moon, when the water stops moving. For some organisms, this is their time to feed and for others, it is time to hide. Keep in mind that a reef tank has a minimal amount of fish and usually a large number of soft or hard corals. The expert has hard corals. Start with soft and just get one and see if you can make it grow. Moving water is not the only thing a reef tank needs. It must have small plantonic organisms so that the coral(s) in your tank can feed. The reef tank also needs a lot of day light, so more lighting the better but too much can heat up the water. That is the hardest part of keeping a reef tank. Most corals, like plants, can just grow with light. The water must be near perfect all the time, or at the very least, consistent so that life in the tank will get used to the balance of the water, including the temperature. Remember, in a reef tank, you are trying to simulate the ocean. In a fresh water tank, you are most likely trying to simulate a pond or lake. With a any saltwater aquarium you must make sure of the water quality everyday, more so in a reef tank. Be prepared to spend money on good equipment. Don't think that you can get away with a less expensive model of all the filters and skimmers and pumps you will need. Remember most of this equipment will be on 24/7.

Which protein skimmer is the best for your 330 liter tank?
There are many to pick from. It honestly depends on what is in the tank, how heavy you feed etc. The most important thing is to not get one that is too big or too small for the tank. You want one that is rated about 1 and 1/2 to at most twice the volume of you tank. Also, many people like the new cone skimmers. They may make more bubbles and hence skim better. ( Or the bubbles are less likely to pop too early) There are many reviews of all the skimmers on saltwater forums such as Reef Central, Reef to Reef etc. Take some time and read up and find out which is best for you before you purchase one.

That depends, of course, on the size of the tank and what you put in it. A small tank such as a nano tank or a pico tank, is not too expensive to keep up. There are many corals you can have without spending an arm and a leg. Also some people have fish only which in general is less expensive. The salt water can be purchased or made at home. You needs light which can be very expensive for LED units or much less reasonable if you purchase lights such as T5s . It is possible to own a salt water tank and not spend a fortune keeping it up.
