    After drip acclimating for 2hrs did you move up under bright lights? Cleaner and fire shrimp can die from light shock fairly easy!

    :confused:Even though 2 months is a young tank I think its plenty of time for major things to stabilize somewhat. Any copper traces in your tank? By the way I would raise salinity to at least 1.025-1.026.
