if you tank is on the stable/unstable fine line then a ittle time has to be given for the balance to work out.adding anyhing n ow or in the near future could keep it on this fine line.
another thing to note is inverts are very sensitive to salinity spikes and temp so be sure to make sure they are always consistent.acclimation is very important.
if your shrimp just molted it is also at its most vulnerable period, what do you have for fish?? notice any bad crabs you didnt buy??

Well the ammonia came from a blenny I bought which died when I put it in after acclimating it improperly. I felt terrible but got the ammonia down to 0 quickly through a water change. I tried a bangai cardinal after and was successful with him. I just acclimated the blenny to long so I'd assume the oxygen ran low in the water he was in. Another noob mistake. I am goong to also test for any stray voltage tonight. Does anyone else have bad luck like me at first? Lol.
