That's fine. Most CAs like fairly alkaline water (7.6 - 7.8) with a decent amount of hardness.

A little limestone rock in the tank (or crushed coral or some other source of carbonate hardness) can't hurt as well.

I've got no problem keeping and breeding all sorts of CAs (SAs as well) in our tap water. Lots of water changes out of the tap are better than fewer with lots of messing with the water.
