I live outside of the city, so my water is from a well and it goes through a water softener. Can this water be used in my aquariums? I have land hermit crabs and the water doesn't seem to affect them in any way.
 
We live on an acreage with well water, and while we don't soften it, it does go through a conditioning system in the basement before being routed to the house. We've never had a problem using it in our tanks. If it's a concern for you, however, you could probably use water from an outside pump that hasn't gone through your softener instead of tap water.
