Recently I havent been able to keep crabs alive. (hermits, and emeralds). all of my water parameters are good and theres a grounding probe in the tank. I feed a full cube of mysis every other day. 20% water change weekly. All other inhabitants are doing great. (snails, fish, sps, lps, softies and zoas) im kind of at a loss as to why they arent making it. When i buy them i usually just float them for a bit periodically adding a bit of my water into their bags and then dump them onto the sand and theyre fine (in my 7 years of reefing this has never given my the slightest issue) After I had a batch all die using this method I drip acclimated the next batch. Same thing.
Phosphates: 0 (but i have a decent amount of bubble algae so i know this is a false 0)
Nitrates: 0
Nitrites: 0
Ammonia: 0
Salinity: 1.025-.026
Temp: 77-78
Havent actually put a multi-meter in the tank but theres a grounding probe in it. (plugged into a grounded power strip, dont know if that could matter)
Anyone have any ideas?
