Although salinity should generally be kept around 1.025 - 1.026, I don't think that should be the reason your inverts are croaking. Most LFS systems are kept at a lower salinity than our tanks at home. This is why acclimation is fairly important. These critters can handle a pretty good range of salinity, provided the change is gradual. A very quick change could be a problem though, this could be caused by a massive water change where the makeup water is significantly different than the system water.

You say the tank has been medicated. With what? That might be something that could cause problems. I believe most hobbyists use a quarantine or hospital tank to medicate their livestock if that's feasible.
