Using existing saltwater source?

[CaptainJohn]

Hi all, I am interested in growing my own shrimp -for use as bait, food, and for fun. I have a saltwater canal in the back of my house and I was wondering if that would be the best way to get saltwater into the tanks? These tanks (big plastic ones) will be outside. Do you think this will work? What sort of pumps and filters would I need? Sorry, I am very new to all of this. Thanks for your help!

While you can, things like brine shrimp require an even higher salinity level than that of the tank
