Davekyn,
If you are going with Africans (and plants in general), Travis's posts will be of great help to you. Here he answers many questions about his setup. Here's his experiences with specific plants in hard water.
He's away for a while, but I'm sure if you start a thread on the topic when ready, he will be interested and provide his guidance when/if he sees it. He's guided a few planted African setups in this forum if you're in a searching mood in the meantime. HTH
