|| Just tested my tap water and get: gH 100 mg/l and kH 80 mg/l
|| Using a Hagen test kit.

You should be fine with that...

|| Alk 2.2
|| PH??? One test kit said 8.0 and another 7.2 - arghh?

Co2 will bring that down..... Usually .5-1.0 in that area...

|| Will this be too high for a planted tank?
||
|| My plan is a 50 gal tank.
|| Substrate Flourite and Flora Base from Red Sea.
|| My lights are 2 - 96 watts CF 6500 lights

With that much light, you're using CO2, right?

with 3.84Watts per gallon, you will NEED co2... you are using Co2, right?
