well, my frog has died. I have one more day of meds to give to the fish in the tank. I have been really good about water changes, every 5-7 days with seasoned water, hard to do it more as I have 3 tanks and not enough "bucket" space to season water for more than one tank at a time. My levels in the tank were all good, so I kept searching for more info on the aeriation issue.
I found a really informative site on these frogs.

If you scroll to near the bottom of the page you will see something called "gas bubble disease" I think this is what happened.
The first day I set up my new pump, I didn't have a valve on it so it was on full for about 16 hours. It was when i got up the next morning I saw the frog. Perhaps this was the problem? Either way, as soon as the medicine is done, I will do another water change, about 30%, wait a day then do another 30%. Hopefully the problem will not come back.
In the meantime, my guppy's are growing rapidly, and the colors in them are coming out in spades! I am so happy with how some of them look, I may try to find a way to post pics again! I'll have to wait until my cloudy water clears though, flash would probably just bounce off it right now like headlights on fog!
thanks so much for input!
