Filter Broke For 65G Aquarium And I Don't Know What To Do?

[YavaarNosimohomed]

So literally just now my eheim 2213 canister filter started leaking. I didn't know what to do so I emptied out all the water. I have a spare fluval filter c3 hang on back filter but i dont think it has been cycled yet. I am letting it run on the tank till I can get a replacement canister filter. I also took out the media cartridge from the canister filter and put it in the aquarium and let it in the water.
 
Is there anything else I should do to?

You can transfer the media from the Eheim to your c3 filter or new cannister, cut up the sponge to fit if needs be, do include the ceramic media as well.
 
Then that should help get things back to normal, you may get a small spike or mini cycle but the bacteria in your filter will get to strength pretty quick, do remember thare is bacteria in your filter, sunstrate and plants etc so i think this should be fine.
 
Keep an eye on the water parameters to make sure all is within range and keep doing the water change routine as normal as well.
