Thought I'd give an update. They seem to be handling hypo quite well. I've had to do very little to stabilize ph. I added maybe 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of baked baking soda two nights ago, but that's it. Ph is reading 8.0 on my API kit and 8.1-8.2 on my Red Sea kit. Salinity has been steady at 1.010. They're very active, very hungry, and very social. They get noticeably excited when I walk up to them, regardless of whether or not they're getting fed.
Side note.. They were sold to me as a cirrhilabrus isosceles(pintail) and cirrhilabrus lunatus(crescent). I believe the more orangeish colored female is a pintail, but I'm actually wondering if the other is a johnsoni. She is brilliantly pink. I'm going to ask in the wrasse thread.
Anyway, I'm optimistic that these ladies will pull through.
