Just out of curiosity, has anyone with hard water tried adding a layer of peat/organic soil under the substrate? Kinda like a psuedo-El Natural tank? What effect might that have?

Travis, thanks for that good info. I would like to try out using about 1/4 inch of yard soil mixed with a bit of peat and then top that off with my normal substrate (SMS-type stuff).
My only problem is that I'll have to commit to an aquascape without pulling up plants and moving them around, otherwise, I'll have a mess on my hands when the soil gets into the water column.

How much $$ would I have to spend on aquasoil for a 48" x 12" footprint if I decided last minute to go with that? Now I'm VERY curious.
