Big tanks down here in South Florida use natural sea water, but the water typically comes from further out, not close to the shore. I’d be cautious collecting it yourself close to the shore because of contaminants. Good luck!

A Local fish shop close to me goes out on a boat and collects big batches at a time i will probably be getting it from there.

Years ago, my aunt actually used NSW for a tank she had. She lived about 100 feet from where the Edisto River emptied into the Atlantic Ocean. She'd go out as the tide came in and get the water in a 5 gallong bucket.

It worked for her, but as mentioned earlier, I'd be very careful about where you get it, especially close to shore.

Then that should work fine!
