Will a c02 kit where you add Water, Baking Soda, and Citric Acid. Work on a 60-gallon aquarium? It's 24 inches deep.
They do for a while but it can be difficult to control the amount of CO2 that ends up in the tank.
What sort of plants do you have?
How many plants do you have?
How much light is above the tank and how long is it on for each day?

How much aeration/ surface turbulence do you have?
Are there any fish in the tank?
What is the GH (general hardness), KH (carbonate hardness) and pH of your water supply?
This information can usually be obtained from your water supply company's website (Water Analysis Report) or by telephoning them. If they can't help you, take a glass full of tap water to the local pet shop and get them to test it for you. Write the results down (in numbers) when they do the tests. And ask them what the results are in (eg: ppm, dGH, or something else).

I was looking on getting Brightwell Aquatics Remineraliz to add the minerals the softener removers.Im reading through some of your historic posts and wonder if the water softener is the cause for some of the issues you have been seeing. Some people get away with it, some people dont.
A water softener doesn't actually reduce the amount of stuff disolved in the water. It just changes what that stuff is. Even though your water is now very soft from a GH PoV it still has high levels of disolved solids in there.
