How much water have you changed??

Your Tanks prob going to cycle again after the mass dieoff idk personally if it was me I wouldn't be adding fish to my tank one week after a total crash

6-10 weeks, let it sit let it cycle. Is usually the norm for a crash. not sure in this case.
weekly 25 percent water changes are a minimum.

How much did you lose? I'd bet it's more than $40 worth of livestock, get the test kits. I don't like spending money on equipment, rather spend it on livestock, but losing corals and fish as a result ends up costing more in the long run. Think of the big picture, not short term otherwise you are going to have constant struggles and frustration when you can't quickly figure out what's going on in your tank.

any successfull reefer be it fish only or with corals will tell you its worth it to just save and buy the equipment up front, keeping livestock will be that much easier and its cheaper in the long run to pony up
