Very nice! I love wide tanks. Did you go with glass?

From what I have read on The Advanced Aquarist, you need to make sure you are not adding any limewater or a calcium carbonate/carbon dioxide reactor, not sure if you make use of one. You should use water changes to help get back to a normal range and do as you are doing by adding a calcium...

I'd suggest using shims under the stand. You can buy a package of window/door shims cheap at a hardware store.

I signed up months ago and never got a sample. Considering they ran the banner about the free sample for so long, I don't buy the fact they ran out. They should have taken the banner down if they already had more requests than samples. PS Sorry my first post is negative.
