It is never a good idea to get water from the wild. It may contain pathogens & pollutants that can harm your fish. There is an aquarium here that uses ocean water but its taken from a deep source many miles off the coast & gets extensive treatment before going into the tanks. Unless you're able to go through such measures, i'd recommend simply mixing your own.
