Default Ok...what's going on? New fish loss(es)

Ok, so the last two fish I've put into my system (at different times) have both died at around the 36 hour mark. What gives? Am I acclimating too fast? Or maybe it's just a coincidence, and I've bought poor specimens...?

When I acclimate, I dump the fish with it's bag of water into a 2L jug. I start a drip, about 3 drops per second. When the jug fills up (about 20 mins), I empty out almost all the water, and let it drip until the jug fills about 3/4 again. The whole process takes about 30-40 mins. Then I scoop the fish out in a net, and plop him in the tank. It has always worked fine for me in the past oh...decade, but what do you guys do? Do you think it's too fast?

The fish I lost were a Jawfish about 6 weeks ago, and then just recently a True Perc. Any other ideas?
