my dad actually tried to do this a few years ago before he started an actual salt water tank.

pretty much what happens is...

A. if you use regular water and add the salt like you would for a normal salt water tank and then get fish from the ocean they will all die within a few days.

B. if you get water from the ocean the fish will live but the water will quickly become so dirty that you cant even see into the tank. the filters they sell for salt water fish tanks arent really strong enough to deal with all the crap thats in regular ocean water. but you can keep the tank going if your willing to completely change the water say twice or three times a week.

my recommendation to you would be to just start a regular salt water tank and get tropical fish, you can still get tropical starfish and eels as well. its a lot better off.

also keep in mind i live in bristol RI where right down the way from Fall River so maybe if you live near a really clean beach you might have a better chance at getting some really clean and clear natural salt water.
