Test your water parameters first. Let us know the exact ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH readings. Use API liquid kit for this.

The OP never mentioned cleaning his filters. I've done 100% water changes and NOTHING has gone wrong with my cycle. (I have a BB tank as well with a canister) As long as you have a strong colony established in your substrate/filters, then you should not have to worry when you do a big water change.

drop the salt that can stress your convicts even more. do daily 50% water changes over the next few days if that doesnt clear it up. PM me and i have some pharm meds i can suggest to you.
