Plants In Hard Water?

[Sheridan]

According to my water company, the 'total hardness' of my water is 373ppm. I don't have a test kit for this yet but I assume they're reffering to GH?

I want to set up a planted tank, with around 1.8 WPG and DIY CO2, is this very hard water going to cause me problems and greatly limit my choice of plants? If so, how can I get round this? RO isn't really an option.

Thanks for the help.

According to my water authority my water is up to 325 ppm, which is considered very hard. My plants grow like triffids, so I don't think you will have any problems at all.
