nooo way!! dont get me wrong they may be ok but ive learned the hard way. u may be adding parasites to your reef! in the past i had access to gulf water. i thought heck i should use it for water changes right!? wrong ! microscopic organism were intro'ed to my tank and grew. lots of stuff good but more importantly also bad!. there are many products that let u hatch cyst of micro organisms and copapods and feed your reef without the risk of other unwanted pests. unless u feel in the mood to gamble on an expensive hobby i wouldnt do this at all!
