who uses natural seawater

Looking to cut corners in setting up a large tank. Have heard about NSW, and didn't know where people got in Mass. I have easy access to Plymouth beach(all the way at the point) white horse (kinda crapy) Cape cod, and a few others. Just wondering where people got their NSW if they use it!!

Thanks

I changed from well water (with RO/DI) this summer to NSW it was like day and night with my tank I will never go back. I collect at the mouth of Falmouth harbor about two hr before high tide. I do a lot of large water changes, 18 gal on my 75 every two weeks. I have NO algae any more and my corals are growing so fast they keep me awake nights.

NSW RULES!!!!!!!

I have been using it for several months now, I am just about ready to start up my prop system, 250+ gallons all with NSW
I get mine in Beverly. I have a 325 gallon water tank in my truck

what about near plymouth. I'm not really up to going back and forth from CARVER to Falmouth for 600+ gallons when i set it up?? I as thinking the point at plymouth beach, i can drive out in my truck and fill up trash barrels. That would be a lot easier, but i'm not sure if this is good water... I could have it tested? any thoughts?

DJ, one would assume as long as the tide is incoming, your not collecting right next to a natural waste pipe, too close to business and not right after a storm...you will prob be ok.

I'm not suggesting you come to Falmouth to collect your NSW you asked who uses it and where in MASS they collect it.

i no i asked that! I was interested on how you know it is safe to use? I would think that plymouth would be safe, it isnt near the powerplant. the only thing is, is boats are constantly going back and forth. would this nake a difference?
