Hope the picture works, but will these additions work for an Irish Red?

Way too high mineral levels for my and some others' tastes. And what's the mash pH with all that stuff in there? Probably too low... But don't see it in the screenshot.
Personally I'd keep sodium much lower, under 30 for sure, and both Chloride and Sulfate below 100. Mash pH should list at about 5.5. The water profiles in brewing software are often too extreme for me. (I see this is Brewers Friend.)

Starting water pH is 7.7, estimated mash pH is 5.29. I may go with the balanced profile 1 as everything is cut in half from the listed one. I used brewers friend balanced 2 profile.

OK this is what I going with. Mash PH is estimated at 5.4 We shall see.
