I've been to every local store around here that sells fish, and NONE of them sell anything to adjust the hardness. Guess I'll have to order it online.

DLM: I am not familiar with any product which will lower hardness other than the portion due to Ca.
RO/DI water is my method for hardness reduction.
I am interested as to the Kh of your water.

Welcome to the club!
I have never had good luck adding Neon's or Glowlight's directly to my 110G tank but I had no problem with Red Serpae Phantom's.
Generally out of 7 Neon's and 7 Glowlight's only 1 or 2 would survive and I gave up after the 2nd try.
I now have 7 of each, which are young juvies, in 5G tanks growing them out as well as acclimatizing (refer to EMC's post also) them to the water in the main tank. So far so good as no deaths yet after four weeks.
