I'm a bit of a newbie to water additions, so be gentle.
So, I got my water report from Ward Labs thinking that I would be smart enough to figure out how to get everything to equal out. Man was I wrong. Every time I enter an amount of one thing, 2 other things shoot up or down. I can't seem to get it right. I tried to use several online spreadsheets to do the calculations for me (even Brewers Friend) and have had no success. The only additions that I'm currently using is one campden tablet and 10 ml of lactic acid in 7.5 gallons of water for a 5 gallon batch.
Looking for help developing these three profiles water profiles.
Below is my profile, can someone help me get to those three base water profiles.

Looking for help developing these three profiles water profiles.
- A "Middle of the road" brewing profile for Blonde Ales, Bitters, and maybe some lighter German lager or hefeweizen.
- A "Malt forward" one for RIS, BDSA, and a Tripel.
- A "Hop forward" one for APA, IPA, and some Belgians.
