Hi Mello :) I live in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula between Moose Pass and Seward on the highway. Our house (we built it:) sits between the highway and Trail River - so yes, we can walk to the river from our back yard. The water from our Well is very soft with a PH of 6.6 - 6.8 , KH 2-3, GH 120ppm and no nitrates. So that is why I refer to my 50 gal fish as rainwater fish because I have fish that thrive in it. Because the KH of our well water is low I do 50% water changes weekly to replace what little buffer I have - rather then add suppliments. It works fine. So to answer your question I don't use real rainwater ;) I would be careful using rainwater depending on where you live and where you would you collect it from such as roofs - picking up metal and what have you along the way. Also, if you keep fish that prefer hard water such as any livebearers or African Cichlids they would not like it. Hope I was not to long winded for you :) Here is a vote.
