What is killing my grey tree frog tadpoles?

Hi! Unfortunately I missed your thread when it was posted, but the ph issue makes sense and I'm glad you caught it. Personally when I keep tadpoles I initially keep them in the water they were found in, which I manually cycled out for treated tap water every other day or so, removing around 20% each time, to allow them to acclimate to the new water conditions. I keep them in small groups in deli cups. Once the water is essentially just tap water I can make full switches easily. To be honest though, the work to maintain them that way, especially with a lot of tadpoles is a bit much, and I'll probably be using a filtered tank next time myself. I'm really glad your tadpoles pulled through and made it to metamorphosis. Also, nice imgur album.
Edit: almost forgot: Over here in California Greys are a fairly common cheap treefrog in the pet trade, while the local frogs I keep, Pacific Treefrogs are nowhere to be found(saw some once at a shady pet store, likely wild caught or collected as tadpoles.). It makes me wonder if in other parts of the US Pacific Treefrogs are commonly available.

No, even here on the East Coast I generally only ever see green tree frogs (Hyla cinerea) and dumpy white's tree frogs. It's funny that you have a lot of greys available, though. I guess pets available for sale can be very regional!
