I will be using some Asda spring water which contains per litre;
Calcium = 38mg
Magnesium = 12mg
Potassium = 2.5mg
Sodium = 8mg
Bicarbonate = 135mg
Sulphate = 14mg
Nitrate = 5mg
Chloride = 12mg
Dry Extract at 180°C 219mg
pH = 7.8

Does anything majorly stand out as being bad and will need fixing?
I will be using it in a waterfall for my MHD and a water bowl for my beardie.

None of that should be harmful at all (although I'm not sure what "Dry Extract" is. Extract of what? The rest of it is well within potable range and similar to what I use for beer brewing water.

Thank you, I was just a little worried about the chlorides and chloramines since the area I live in puts them in the water :?
As far as I am aware, dry extract refers to all solids/minerals left over from evaporating all of the liquid from the solution :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
