Jason, how did the water change go? Lets test the water and make sure it is stable before adding stuff. When you acclimated the crabs (he kept them) how did they react? While one the phone you said you got a new heater, how is it working? Until we work out that back chamber level fluctuation why don't you keep it in the display part. Let me know brutha.

I hate to get into this but I don't think the salinity, temp, or pH killed those snails. I think you said that stuff died after the water change, correct?
Snails are hard to kill, you really need to step on them or put them in a tank with some metal, like what would sometimes come with tap water. It would also kill that coral that Framer gave you.
I am glad the tank seems to be doing well now.
Hello there Framer, love that painting.
