Frustration

[Barrett.Oliver]

Salinity is 1.024-1.025..... Its done with a hydrometer, new with the tank. I acclimated it with the better part of an evening home from work, roughly 2.5-3 hours. I was trying to avoid losing "Toby" and "Pierre" at all costs. Its was about a week (a little shy of) after releasing them into the tank they both passed. Just to clarify, the pH flux isn't .5....its much more minor (someone pointed this out to me) Its at most .2 flux

So sad, one thing I wanted in setting up a tank was to not kill anything. I can't seem to keep anything alive besides snails though.

Very discouraging. I'm scared to put anything into the tank now.
