Hi all,
Flexy, you have pretty good water, IMO. If you'll notice in the "Range" column, it says that Alkalinity(KH) is about 81-82 mg/L(which equals ppm's) and Hardness(GH) is about 126 mg/L(or ppm). Your conductance is 309-318uS, which is pretty good and could be used to growout fish. If you would like to breed them, you should probably get an R/O unit and mix about 70-30, R/O to tap. This will give you around 100uS conductance(figuring the R/O will give you about 10uS conductance water and the source water is 309uS). The other inorganics contained in your water do not pose any problems, IMO. I wish I had water like that outta my tap! If you put your cursor over the names of the inorganics, some brief explanations come up as to what they are and where they come from(pretty cool) HTH, Just some thoughts.
