Default New Tank Hard water question

Hi:
I bought a aquarium (fresh water, tropical) 4 weeks ago and I have 4
danios and 1 tetra and they all seem to be doing fine. I took a test of
my tank and I found the following readings from the color charts.
Nitrate: 20
Nitrite: 0
Hardness: 150
Alkalinity: 20
pH: 6.8
Everything seems ok except that the color chart says that the water is
"HARD".
Is that a problem ? How will it affect my aquarium ? What is the most
economical way to make the water soft ?
Thanks in advance.

- Shri
