I wouldnt recommend it. Using freshwater would most likely kill off more of the "inhabitants" i.e. sponges,etc.. and would prolong the curing process. The whole idea is to allow all the dead or dying stuff to complete it's cycle(either by decay or by removal) so that your left with healthy, viable organics that wont leach nutrients, organic material, etc... into your new system.
