Nice size you are moving up to, the more room you can supply the better for an aro's well being
I found wile they are young Arowana tend to get nipped by other aggressive type fish in the tank

How big is thetank?
i ave run oscars and birchirs with bigger aros

Pure dew is best of the bottled water, RODI will be cheaper in the long run

People have either collected dirty water or are selling artificial salt usually
I've been using NSW for over 30 years

1. Is Natural Sea water as clear as water from bucket salt when in your tank? Does anyone have a photo of NSW in their tank?
YES
2. I understand to collect water 30mins prior to high tide and not within a day or two of heavy rain, what else do you need to do to treat the water prior to it going in your tank?
Can run it through a 1 micron filter if you like or store in dark for 4 days prior to use in tank, will need to dilute slightly and add a bit of calcium and magnesium if doing a full reef tank
3. Can you mix natural and artificial waters? I assume as evaporation occurs you'll need to add pure dew into the tank as well.
Yes
4. I know to use food grade containers - but how long can I keep the water before going in my tank? For example, if it's forecast for 3-4 days of rain over the weekend can I collect water, keep it somewhere dark until the weekend when I do my water change?
Can keep in the dark indefinitely so long as container sealed
5. The opposite to above, can the water be warmed up via a heater and put in my tank the same day or next day if the refractometer shows the water is at the right state?
Yes

Might be cheaper to buy one of the all in one tanks like a Red Sea or Aquaone ones

Could be a Polymastia or even a bryzoan colony

They come in every now and again, ask Hollywood Fish Farm in Auckland.
Native ones need to be kept below 18 centigrade so need a chiller.
There is a care sheet pinned at top of saltwater section.

The aquaone pipes etc are sligtly different in size to normal plumbing available in nz
I usually take pipe in to a plumbing supplies to find adaptor or heat a piece of plastic soft tube to fit as adaptor
