Blood Shrimp died.... :(

[toxic_deviant]

So I woke up this morning to find that my new Blood Shrimp molted, but then this legs came off.... I found him near the rear of the tank, upside down, the old exoskeleton a few inches away, legs scattered around him.

I don't get it...
My tank is a 3g Nano
Salinity: 1.024
Temp: 72-74
Trates: 0ppm
Trites: 0ppm
Weekly 1g water changed weekly.
Tank inhabitants: 1 Blood Shrimp, 1 pistol Shrimp, 1 Hi-Fin Goby (Barber shop), mussel

Your temp is very low. It should be around 78-80. Your sg is low for inverts, that should be about 1.025-1.026. What are you using to measure the sg? How did you acclimate the shrimp? I am so sorry that he died.

The new shrimp was drip acclimated on Thursday. Eating and behaving normally.
I get my salt pre-mixed and aged from my Local Reef Specialty store.
I'll get a small heater since my temp is too low. I was under the assumption that between the light, and the two filters running, that would keep the nano warm enough.
