I have had 5 shrimp deaths over the last week, I switched from seachem equilibrium to green leaf ultimate gh booster. 4 of the deaths are blue tigers, could this be the cause?

 

Guaranteed Analysis - Equilibrium: http://www.seachem.com/Products/prod...uilibrium.html 
Soluble Potassium (K20) 23.0%
Calcium (Ca) 8.06%
Magnesium (Mg) 2.41%
Soluble Iron (Fe) 0.11%
Soluble Manganese (Mn) 0.06%
Derived from: potassium sulfate, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, ferric sulfate, manganese sulfate. Elemental potassium is present at a concentration of 195,000 ppm (19.5%). Archaic fertilizer laws force us to list potassium in terms of equivalence to a material that is not present (K2O) rather than the more scientifically sound method of simple elemental equivalence. 

The Ultimate GH Booster: http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/aq...h-booster.html
Description - Contains: 
* Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4)
* Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4)
* Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4)
* Iron Sulfate (FeSO4)
* Manganese Sulfate (MnSO4)

 

The ingredients seem similar.. please help.

It definitely could be, but the only way to know for sure is to stop using the product. Monitor shrimp over the course of two weeks or so, and re-evaluate. Have you tested other water parameters?
