Can I use 100% well water in my tank? -

Hello all, new guy here, but I'm learning fast...
I started my freshwater planted tank (180 gallon Oceanic) about 8 weeks ago. I am using reconstituted R/O water now in the tank but would like to start switching over to a mix of my well water with R/O or just the well water if I can. According to the water company my well water contains:
Fe 1.2ppm
GH 375ppm
Chloride 33ppm
Sodium 14ppm
Sulfate 48ppm
I originally went to an R/O system out of concern over the hardness and the iron content. Is there any chance I can use this water exclusively in my tank assuming the pH is acceptable?
Thanks for any thoughts
Aaron
