Is it better if I take water from the sea for my 6 gallon reef change. Or just do the mix.
 
It can be hard to use water from the ocean directly. You have to go pretty far out to collect water to attempt to not bring in pollution/impurities. It then needs to be filtered and run through a UV sterilizer to prevent parasites and such. My suggestion would be to just mix it yourself so you don't have to worry about any of the above.
