All seemed fine tonight until about 1 am when I happened to notice a flurry of activity out of the corner of my eye and saw one of the cories swimming like mad and all spazzy trying to get to the surface.

Any ideas?
You say they should have but have both tanks got the same parameters?

Fish rushing about and "spazzy", possibly trying to jump out of the tank, suggests acidosis or alkalosis because you changed the PH too fast. Was this the only fish showing signs and what other stock have you got in the tank?
