Default What do you think of my local water quality (info from local water company)

First lot:


This water supply zone is classified as supplying Very hard water.
Total hardness values expressed in carrying units (for the last calendar year)
Calcium (milligrams per litre) Calcium carbonate (milligrams per litre) Degrees Clark Degrees German (ºdH) Degrees French (ºf)
118 325 22.75 18.2 32.5


This postcode is part of the Zone 30 Upton Scudamore water supply zone.
Water can contain a variety of natural mineral salts depending on where it has been abstracted from.
We carefully purify all drinking water ensure that potential contaminants are removed.

What do you think? I was intending to have a community tank with hard water accepting fish like Rainbows, Swordtails, Platys, White cloud mountain fish, Zebra Danio, various Tetras, Clown loach, Clown Plec (I already have the last 2 and they seem fine (along with 6 Silver dollars, 2 Oscars, Jack Dempsey and a Red tailed shark)), Cherry barb. Does this seem ok, any thoughts? I was going to be guided by a shop keeper as to what plants to have.

Thanks

Stewart
