Thankfully I got this all done last night. I worked on it until about 1:30 in the morning. Unfortunately, my 3 that were still down didn't make it :( One side was flooded and sloppy wet and the other side was fine. They were all on the flooded side and way down at the bottom, plus it was most likely one of thems first captive molt because he was very small, the other two came from a shop with very poor conditions and was their first time molting since I got them. On the plus side, my other crabs seem to LOVE their new home. They've been out exploring all morning.

I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost crabs to flooding in the past too. :(

I lost 2 in my first (and hopefully only) flood. I didn't know what a false bottom was before filling the tank.
#1 rule of crabbing - crabs are weird.
