Free rain water. Hundreds of gallons from the outbuilding roof mixed with my
tap water brought the PH down to 7.4 and the hardness in the area of 200ppm.
As long as it rains once in awhile I'll have more than enough water for
water changes. :-)

The PH of the rain water was 6.6 to 6.8.

Sounds good, just make sure you collect it from a clean roof, (standard tar
roof not advisable) and clean all the pollutants out. :)
