My Tap Water Params - Anything To Worry About?

[aaronc]

Hi All

I have just checked my water params on the united utilities website and was just wondering if there is anything here that I should worry about, when considering that I am going to heavily plant my tank and use the EI

Thanks in advance
Aaron

All seems fairly good to me, but I would note the softness of the water, not that is a problem but when you start adding CO2 the lack of water hardness will mean the pH drops quite a bit. As I say not really a problem just something to be aware of.
