In the health sense? It shouldn't matter. You can check if your water is safe to drink it is good to have some minerals in your water. Filtered water is nice and might "taste" better but overall it probably won't make too much of a difference unless you have something strange in your tap.

What does the Culligan Drinking Water System remove from the water?

If you are refering to a reverse osmosis, it removes desolved solids such as chlorine, floride, hard water deposits such as calcium and lime. It will even remove sodium from the water if you have a water softner. Most R/O's can reject up to 95% of disolved solids.

What if any problems are there in setting up new fish tank 10 G with well water?

The problem with this is that well water is often very hard. 'Hard' water is water that has lots of minerals, like magnesium and calcium, in the form of their salts or carbonates dissolved in it. If soap does not lather easily in your water and if you tend to get white deposits inside kettles, then the well water is probably quite hard. A pet shop or pool shop might be able to test this for you and tell you just how hard your well water is. Most of the tropical fish you're probably interested in keeping do not like hard water; tetras, gouramis, danios, rasboras etc. as well as virtually all catfish are softwater fish and will not thrive in hard water. If you do have hard water, it doesn't mean that you can't keep fish! Goldfish are a notable exception; they are very tolerant of hard water, but they grow far too big to live in your ten gallon tank. Livebearers - guppies, mollies, platys and swordtails - are also good choices for hard water, and would be good choices for a small aquarium and a beginning aquarist, because they're small, colourful and hardy. If your well water is hard, but you really want to keep softwater species, you could consider setting up the tank with 10 parts of rainwater or reverse osmosis water (you can buy a reverse-osmosis machine to remove the minerals from the water) to 1 part of well water. Water with no minerals in it is bad for fish as well, so make sure you include a little bit of well water in the mix. If you're connected to a town water supply, that will probably work as well, although you'll need to add water ager to remove the chlorine from the water (it wil kill fish); any pet store will sell it. However, if your town water supply comes mainly from ground water, it could be just as hard as the well water, so be careful.
