You just have to use less with tap water, if its hard.

80-130 isn't very hard. There's 2 kinds of chlorine they put in tap water. One evaporates out in about a day and you should be able to smell it. The other takes weeks or months. Check with your water supplier. The names are slightly different. More than likely, you have the former. Just let it sit in an open container a day. If you have the other, you'll need to buy bottled water

No. RO filtered. I could, but RO is a little better. Plus, I tend to buy a lot of gadgets, like RO filters and co2 monitors and shit. This can be a very expensive hobby.
