Hello. Does anyone harvest their own Salt Water? [NY, LI] - Brooklyn Aquarium Society

Does anyone in NY or the east coast harvest their own saltwater from the ocean or LI Sound?

I imagine the salinity is correct, and it might need to be strained of particles (silt), but does anyone do this / or have tried this. Then, is there any reason Not to do this if the water is 1/2 mile away from home?

I will be setting up a 37T with wet/dry top filter.
I have not yet decided the type but thought I would see Friday's lecture on Corals before I decide. (and maybe something interesting up)
