Toss in some red wigglers, also get some rock powder. Keep it moist and aerated.
I find trichos have the ribs sucking in like that when they are dehydrated. The uneven colouration could be due to a number of different reasons, although I'm leaning towards trace element deficiency (the mottled colouring reminds me vaguely of iron/manganese deficiency in citrus). You can buy trace element fertilisers, and if I've had a sad looking plant, no matter the type of plant I've used it on (including trichos) it seems to bounce back pretty quickly. I've heard of azomite rock dust recently which seems to be a highly rated source of trace elements too which you might be interested in checking out.
Edit: I realise you were probably talking about the circles which appear to be scale. You can scrape them off but I've never had too much of an issue with leaving them on either.
Soft water lacks minerals. You can supplement those by adding something like Azomite. I buy mine here.
If your water was super-hard, it's possible that your softened water might contain excessive sodium? Can you fill your watering can at an outside tap, instead of from a faucet downstream of your water softening unit?
