I noticed that the stock track tension was so tight that the 2nd idler wheel couldn't even rotate when the tank is placed on some platform such that the tracks don't touch the ground. This seemed unnaturally tight so I added a link on each side..... This resulted in a dramatic decrease in track tension and now the tracks are a little saggy. Is there any way to achieve a middleground of the 2 extremes?

If you drive it around, they will loosen up. I had the same issue, but when I put the metal arms and wheels on I had to take the extra link out, because they were loose enough to start throwing the tracks.
