im sure its ok
the only water never to use is still sitting water. say...a pond that doesnt have a draining source (in or out). if its a running creek i give u the thumbs up!

Yea definitely. I would check the pH though. if it's consistently way off, you'll have to do something about that.

look for something running rapidly like a river, you got a better chance with quality water, something like a creek could be used for drainige

for soil 6.2-6.8, you can adjust it with pH up or down found at the aquarium store...
