Be especially vigilant with your feeding. Best to hold back food for a couple of days to allow things to settle. The fis won't die of starvation in a couple of days but they will if the filter have been compramised & the water parameters go South.

Sorry to hear about your loss dude, give me a shout whenyour tank is up and running again properly and I'll sort out with a couple of wild L270's to start your collection again.

Make sure you don't over feed whilst everything is establishing again, there will be a big reduction in bacteria in your filters that wont cope efficiently in the short term .
